Review of Chrome

Google's new browser, Chrome, is an excellent addition to the browser mix, with innovative new features and blinding fast speed, but it lacks important features that prevent people from making it their main browser.

The positives:

Chrome is lightning fast. It opens up without any noticeable load time, and quickly displays the most viewed pages from your history. This innovation is a real improvement in browser convenience.

Its viewing area is huge, with a noticeable lack of clutter (e.g. there is no 'file, edit, view' navigation toolbar). It has a user friendly, attractive, interface, making it easy to do things like open new tabs. Other features like the new incognito mode are also convenient for clandestine porn-viewing.

The negatives:

By far the most annoying thing about Chrome is that when I have my windows taskbar set to autohide mode, the taskbar remains hidden while Chrome is open even when I put my mouse over the area that usually triggers the taskbar to become viewable. This prevents me from accessing other applications while the Chrome browser is open and this alone prevents me from using Chrome on a regular basis.

I also don't like the fact that Google's own toolbar cannot be installed on Chrome. This is something that Google ought to fix right away.

Prognosis

Overall, I think if Google can fix the above mentioned problems, I will use Chrome a lot more, maybe even replacing firefox with it as my main browser.
