First Hour With Google's New Browser

By: Robert Scoble

Im playing with Googles new Chrome browser. So far, damn, this is nice. Well see if it survives a week. Now for the Pros and Cons of Chrome...

Pros.

1. Uses less memory. I still need to do some tests on a clean machine, but it looks like it uses dramatically less memory than Firefox or IE8 beta2.
2. Faster. Both on startup and scrolling around. On my tests with Google Reader its dramatically faster in places.
3. Simplistic UI. Its uncluttered. Simple. No links to Google stuff. Great for beginners, but truth be told I love using it too.
4. Larger viewport. I can see more content. Fewer toolbars and taskbars.

Cons.

1. No Firefox extensions. Ive been playing a lot lately with Greasemonkey and other extensions from Firefox.
2. Unclear compatibility. Im seeing some reports over on FriendFeed that theres some Web sites that dont work with it.

Anyway, its being discussed all over the blogosphere right now, so Im sure theres a ton of articles about it on TechMeme (I havent looked, I just got home from one interview and am headed back out to another one).

But, after first hour? Im definitely coming back to use it for a second hour. Well see if it survives a week. How about for you?
