Google Chrome is impressively fast, but doesn’t support the Active X or Java I need to use LogMeIn.com and access my home computer, bringing me right back to Firefox 3.0 again. I have the same problem with the 1601 error on my desktop running WinXP Pro w/SP3, but no problems installing it on my laptop with Vista Home Premium w/SP1.

Complete agree with what you said Mark. Go with what you know.

Google Chrome is really fast!
Now I can sort 200,000 records inside of Browser (Chrome) just in 1 sec. (Faster than Microsoft Excel):

I think what Google has done is actually pretty impressive. I installed it and worked great right out of the gate. And they tell a really good story with their multi-process architecture. Seems like the way for browsers to go…

But am I going to switch? I don’t really see the need right now. Why go to the trouble? Firefox works great.

Google has to prove why their design and architecture is the best (in real life, not just in a comic book) and that people running web-based apps can’t live without it. If they can do that then I’ll be one of the first to switch.

on a different facet… how different is the launch of Chrome with the launch of cuil.com? The latter over promised and took pot-shots at competitors. The former admitted it may have some flaws (hey, it’s a BETA version, right?) but didn’t over promise anything. I can tell you who scored bigger from a Marketing Communications standpoint, that’s for sure!

Well i installed crome.

It has some good features like getting automatic speed dial like opera and appeal is also good.

I do use fire fox also and give a try for crome also now and then.

Steve,

Having not used Chrome yet, I can’t fully appreciate some of the nuances you talk about in your post. But as someone who has a lot of tabs going - some applications, some content - all day long, I definitely like the idea of them operating with some sense of independence. Now, if I could fix my Windows Installer 1601 error, I’d be good to go.

and once people get past the fact that it’s a browser (yawn) they might start seeing that this is more about changing work flows and the desktop. I wrote about this aspect of it yesterday while I was playing around with Chrome and the more I work with it the more I stand by what I wrote
