Google Chrome - A few things I've noticed

So as most people know by now, Google has come up with their own internet browser.

Google Chrome! I: gotta say, I like the name. You can find it here.

First off, it's pretty fast. I like fast. There's nothing worse for me than trying to surf the net and having to wait for websites to load. So far that department seems pretty good.

Secondly, I've noticed that it seems to take about 5 - 10 seconds to load up the home page. That may be my computer though. I can live with it because once it gets going it's pretty good.

It seems like sort of a mix between Internet Explorer and FireFox. It has the tabbed windows and also has a bar at the top were you can add your most used links. This make for easy access. I like that too. Easy is good.

You can set the home page to show thumbnails of your most used sites as well. Pretty cool but I haven't used that much yet (not to say that I won't in the future).

One thing that I've also noticed that is a big thing for me is that t has froze on me a few times. This is the reason I no longer use FireFox very often. It started freezing on me quite a bit. There is nothing I dislike more (as far as browsing goes) as when the browser freezes. This may deter me from using Google Chrome on a regular basis.

One other thing is that I've noticed that some of the fonts are not as clear when using the Google browser. If you have it, look on one of my websites with it, and then look at it using Internet explorer. From the landing page click the link to enter the site. Once there, check out the links on the left hand side. You will see a noticeable difference in the look of the font between the two.

Also, I was on a free add site which has a font editor built in. The editor did not show up using Google Chrome. I switched to IE and there it was. Go Daddy's website editor will not work with it either.

I'm not sure that it's ready to take over Internet Explorer, but I do think that they are onto something real good. I will be looking forward to updates and new versions.
