a geek commodity

Google Chrome

September 3rd, 2008 by Phil

(because one more whiny blogger’s opinion can’t hurt)

  • nice, fast. 
  • I see ad people
  • a single google doc in an application window feels nicer than the Prism alternative
  • masses of the standard Firefox keyboard shortcuts work
  • find-as-you-type requires CTRL+F
  • find-as-you-type doesn’t select links
  • NO FEED SUPPORT AT ALL 

I look forward to the first Linux build which runs Chrome as its window manager.

  1. I’m going to leap in here with a comment rather than rehashing what you’ve said in my own post… One other thing I miss is not being able to middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab. That’s one of my most-used shortcuts, and without it I feel nekkid.

  2. That works for me. I wouldn’t be able to use it otherwise!
