Another browser, another pain in the arse

Oh no, not another one.  I’m a web developer and working with different browsers is painful.  Developers need a hug na talaga.

Anyway, Chrome is a new internet browser created by Google.  Things I like with this browser are:

• display window is bigger
• clean UI
• you can close a single tab if it goes slow
• combined address and search bar (just type a url or a search engine keyword)
• task manager (open this to close frozen tab)
• incognito window (any activities done in this window will not be saved in your history, cache, cookies)

Things I don’t like:

• your saved passwords are not secured.  you can’t specify a master password.
• it can’t render some favicons properly
• no plugins
• MS Windows only

Although you don’t have to test your website with Chrome if you’ve already tested it on Safari because they are both based on WebKit, problem is, I don’t do this because generally, only 1 to 2% of the market is using it.  So why bother?  (Sorry Safari users.  Fish tayo.)  If chrome gets big, then I don’t have a choice.
