Google Chrome: Still impressive, yet incomplete

| | Comments (1) |

I'm using Google Chrome again today in XP, and I continue to be impressed by its speed if nothing else.

So far, I'm having a lot of luck with pages being rendered correctly, and did I mention that it's fast?

I like being able to shuffle the tabs around. I never did that before, and in Chrome they just look like they should be shuffled. Then I tried the same thing in Firefox. You can shuffle the tabs there, too. Kinda funny, huh? Something about Chrome made me think about doing something that I could've been doing in Firefox all along.

I won't really be able to evaluate Google Chrome until they release the Linux and Mac ports. I wonder how long it will be.

When I first installed Google Chrome, I imported my Firefox bookmarks. All 900 and something of them.

As far as managing those bookmarks, all I can seemingly do is drag them around. Right-clicking on a given bookmark allows for some options, but it's just not enough to manage hundreds of bookmarks and folders.

I guess it's all part of making the app intuitive, like the Mac, for which nobody ever wants to read any kind of manual or docs at any time.

You can drag bookmarks and bookmark folders from the list of bookmarks to the bookmark bar. And you can shuffle them around. Again, you can probably do this sort of thing in Firefox, too, but I never thought to do so.
