Chrome O chrome

Its been a long time now since i have posted anything on my blog..the thing is i was kinda busy with my project( which is still pending...coz i am stuck :-( ).and also here in haryana there is acute electricity shortage so we get only 6-8 hours of electricity a day...'eh..thats sad..!!
Leavng aside all those uninteresting things...i had a urge to post something on the new BROWSER chrome..though its been some days since it was launched..but its never too late to comment on something...
Well so it all starts from my college Library where i was reading some nwspaper and there i read that google has launched CHROME...i was like kool man...the battles of browsers has started..i came home directly to download the GOOGLE BROWSER ..(yeah yeah i missed all my lectures) On my way back i was thinking what could chrome possibly mean.. Applying engineering logics(hit and trial) which i have very well learnt these years..i thought it could be something related to CHROMIUM may be..chrome...chromium ...sounds simillar!! I later found out it is a synonym of "improving".. i was like ...great an open source always welcomes improvement.

May be this was the last exciting moment of my experience with the chrome..i found the link to downlaod it on google .com, downloaded it..!! I opened the browser and had very strange and disappointing kinda expressions on my face..i was clearly not impressed with the interface..i thought i should open some website ..typed a wrong address in the address bar..when i realised it.. i was looking for the STOP button ..couldn't find it..(may be i m used to FIREFOX AND IE placemnts or wateva)...that was irritating..!!
tried again and this tym wrote a valid URL ..nothing opened..tried again...It hung...!! tried the third tym ..site opened but the response time was slow as compared to firefox..!!then i types some random words in the address bar..i found out that the google search engine opened and it began to show the results concerning the letters i typed..though it was something new but i thought this was not whati wanted..i wanted the browser to show "this page does not exist kinda thing"..and not find the data on search engine.. !!( may be i was overreacting owing to the irritating attempts i made earlier).then i found out it had some security issues too..
so all in all... it was kinda avg..keeping in mind GOOGLE TAG it had with it.
uninstalled it that day only... but i am waiting for the beta+ version...i know it will be better!!
I am so happy with mozilla!! It rocks for sure

Yeah, FF rocks dude !!
But Google's chrome is more user friendly.. (well, its my personal view)

The very intention of creating the browser chrome was that of making things user friendly, applying a patter based approach.
I'd recommend to forget that blind date with chrome, and start afresh some day. You'll enjoy for sure. !
