bit-tech News: Google Chrome Editorial: Shiny, but not polished

[news 28]

Hi all,

 

We have just published an editorial on Google Chrome titled: "Shiny, but

not polished". If you could post a link on your site that would be very

much appreciated.

*/My first impression was a resounding "wow" -- this was mainly because

of the speed at which both the WebKit renderer (of Safari fame) and

Google's new "V8" JavaScript engine do their respective jobs. Everything

loaded incredibly quickly and the browser felt lightweight and snappy --

that's something I can't say about Firefox right now.

 

Sadly after spending more time with the browser, I realised that things

weren't quite as shiny as my first impressions had me believe. In fact,

I ended up walking away from Chrome with some rather mixed feelings --

for every great thing, there's something equally not so great and that's

what I've tried to portray here. With that said, the problems aren't

anything the fabled Internet Giant can't fix -- after all, this software

//is only a beta./

*Cheers guys!
