Google's new browser "Google Chrome" has an interesting comic-presentation to go with it explaining all the revolutionary new features that they hope will take market share away from the old generation of browsers. I've been testing it out since noon and so far I'm impressed. There are still some kinks to work out (no middle mouse button panning/scrolling, some funky page rendering, a couple of issues with text boxes), but on the whole it's pretty neat. Nice and speedy, very sleek, and overall it just feels nice to use. It's always good to have some competition to spur creativity between companies. [ Chrome ]

Tried Chrome. Looks nice but no ad blocker. Back to IE 7.

Its not finished and it looks and feels like it. I'll give it another run out of beta. Memory utilisation is good and it's pretty smooth.

I like this browser so far. Since it's open source, I hope someone develops an ad-blocker and mouse gesture plug-in for it though.

About the Blogger
Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
