Just got the first look at chrome.
Knowing google and its simplicity, not surprising that I got a bit lost without the familiar,
Toolbars, and little icons all over the place.
Simply speaking Chrome is a stark contrast to it colleagues ( ie. I.E. and Firefox),
in terms of visual additions.

Starting from base, installation was a breeze, only complaint, did not notice
installation folder options. After that on opening the app., you get a view
of the cleanest browser you ever saw.



The tabs are something similar to
gmail including the colors in blue shades. The top level domain in the
address bar gets highlighted in black while rest in in gray. Than comes the
tabs which are pretty similar to the other browsers in functioning etc.

Now for the better part. A new option called Incognito clears you off the tedious
task of clearing cookies and browsing history for certain 'Specific Sites'.
In this mode your cookies and history are not recorder though, other functionalities,
for the site remain the same. Simply put browser monitored data is whipped clean.

Although add-ons are still not out, I guess it wont be long before google follows the
firefox way.
The developer tab has a javascript counsel and other inputs that make it
similar to firebug, though not exactly the same.

No point writing from scrap because I didn't get the time to go through all
the features, but get an inside scoop on the developer at IT-Eye.

Abiding time for playing around a bit more with Chrome.
