First off I’d just like to say sorry that I haven’t posted here for a while as I have been working on my new personal blog site so it’s been hard to find the time to come here and blog.

Anyway I downloaded chrome as soon as I seen it was available and installation went a bit funny on me for some reason but all was fine when I managed to get it installed, I’ll be breaking this review down into sections so I’ll explain bit by bit on what I like about the browser.

Interface: I do like the interface of this as its nice and tidy, no menu at the top saying file, edit etc etc however I do miss having a loading bar at the bottom. Tabs are nice and small and don’t take up a lot of room when having something like 11 tabs open so that’s very nice, when I first launched the browser I found that it opened like safari would on a Mac and not full screen and this is the first browser that I have decided to keep like it as others just didn’t look nice when being opened into that size window.

Performance: I like when you go to open a new tab that all the sites you recently went to are displayed so you can save a little time and not have to type the address in the bar at the top which I believe is called the Omni bar in this brwser? Speed is one thing I want to comment on, everybody has been saying it is really fast well I don’t notice anything really fast, to me my Firefox 3 is still the fastest browser I have used but at least chrome is faster than internet explorer which I have now fully left behind and never use anymore. The layout of websites are fine, I only mention layout as in some browsers things didn’t look right and that even happens in Firefox sometimes but Google seems to be doing ok with every site I have been on so far.

For the moment that’s all I can say as I haven’t used this browser a lot yet since I’m looking at everything I can do and testing it to see if it fits my needs which so far it does but like I said it just lacks in speed when compared to Firefox 3. If I find anything else good about this then I will list it but I am sure there are a ton of reviews for this out there already as loads of people seem to be loving it, even me but it just needs the better speed.
