    Google Chrome … first testing

    Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

    Google Chrome is really nice! I’ve been testing it for only a few moments on my MacBook, using Windows XP running in a VM.

    It’s super fast.

    Launching the app takes about 0.5 seconds, and you can start surfing right away.

    The Speed Dial function on the first page wasn’t working yet, there was a message that I should use Chrome a while longer before any sites would show up. Just gimme some time, Google :)

    Browsing the web is pretty fast, of course, every depends on your connection. I had to reinstall the Flash player, and I loved it: multiple tabs were open, one tab was requesting to install the Flash player, which I did, and after installing the Flash player, only that tab reloaded and everything worked. No more “restart the browser” messages. I really love it!

    Message to Google: bring us asap a Mac and Linux version, please!

    Big news! Google will release it’s very own, created from scratch, webbrowser very soon!

    It’s called Chrome, and I think it’s very promissing: multi-threaded, multi processes per tab, each tab in a sandbox … More details can be found in the comic.

    Unfortunatly, it will be launched Windows only. Mac and Linux will be released a bit later.

    Something to watch closely!

    Google, to the next level

    Thanks to the BBC tv-show Click online I just discovered cuil.com

    Cuil.com has re-invented searching the Internet. It displays the search results in colums AND you can (thanks to Ajax) narrow the searchresults per subject.

    It’s something to keep an eye on!
