A i’m at the bottom of the page and i can say that you put it best, i’m your everyday user and i’m getting better at this computer thing, and so far chrome was made for me the n/a guru. It was made for me because my front page wasn’t full of thing it didn’t need or know how to use google chrome was thinking of me, Google Chrome started over for the us like me’s. And the enter button rules.

It’s a shame that even now (March 2009), it has an annoying bug that on Vista the title bar gets messed up after a while – 1-2 minutes after starting (the minimize, maximize, close buttons disappear for example) as your screenshots show.

I have found chrome to be more than satisfying , it may even replace firefox as a favorite browser if it continues to beat my expectations. As for previous comments of hanging for no apparent reason, as annoying as that can be there is always the quick fix of, well.. crtl + r, happens in firefox too, i dont think its possible to complete avoid it. As for the missing Send Link Option, personally ive never really used that in any previous browsers and if i really had to share a link with someone i usually have a chat program of some sort open already to send to whomsoever i need to. From me chrome gets two enthusiastic thumbs up.

I don’t think that chrome and firefox can be easily integrated. Firefox is built on Gecko, Chrome is built on Webkit. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

> How about standards compliance? ACID tests?

I’ve read a blog entry (http://fieser-admin.de/it-news/google-chrome-acid-test-ergebnisse/) that states that ACID 1 and 2 are passed (100%), ACID 3 is an impressing 76%. The blog author seems to think that this is actually not much, but I think it’s quite impressive, given the fact that Chrome is still in beta, and the ACID 3 test is quite new (Feb. 2008). When running the test myself, Chrome scored 79%.

i’m finding Chrome’s speed to be inconsistent; it seems to alternate between going lightning fast and then hanging for no apparent reason…

Reply to Sachendra Yadav: I totally agree with your assessment of the merging of browser and desktop OS. Personally, as mentioned in the article, I spend nearly all my time (90+ percent) in Internet-centric apps and hardly use traditional (isolated) apps -- like word processors, spreadsheets, etc. -- any more. Quite simply, to paraphrase Sun, "the Internet has become the computer." Google search/maps/news, google email/calendar, wikipedia, youtube, firefox/thunderbird... those are my desktop and mobile computing world. It hardly matters what OS is running the system any more, with the exception of that other 5-10 percent. So seen in this context, to the extent that Chrome will become a platform for delivering web applications to the desktop -- both inside and outside of a (streamlined) "browser-style" window -- Google's new Chrome 'browser' make complete sense.

Google’s Chrome is aimed at Windows, not IE

This is no longer about browser but about the an entire marketplace spread between desktop, mobile and web. With Chrome, Google’s taking a shot at Windows, not paltry Internet Explorer

I’ve covered this in more detail on my blog
