Another browser, another pain in the arse

September 3, 2008

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.

Download Google Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome

I wasn’t supposed to install Google Chrome yet. But now that you mention your concern from a web developer’s perspective, that got me worried. I should check my sites!

That got us worried also coz i.ph’s post editor is not compatible with Safari. For sure, Chrome will surpass Safari.
