Google Chrome Browser - First Impression

I just installed the Google Chrome Browser at around 3:15pm EST. 

The first thing that I came across that I really like is the wrench icon on the right that allows me to Customize and Control Google Chrome.  Click on the wrench, go to options and then look at the selections for startup.You can either pick a home page, load a default google chrome home page, or you can add a list of sites.  I’m really digging this last feature as I like to have a lot of different browser windows open during the day, and now they all pop up immediately when I open the browser.

If you choose to have google open the chrome “home page” at startup you will see thumbnail pictures of your most visited sites.  This is really a cool feature, much easier to navigate then using Favorites and even faster then a drop down.So far the browser feels much faster then other browsers and has only crashed once.  I right clicked at the top and chose Task Manager, which is cool because you can now see how much memory and processing each tab is using.  Then I clicked on a page and clicked “End Process” and that’s how I got the screen you see in the picture above.

On one hand I’m really digging how the browser feels and works, and on the other hand this is yet another browser we’ll have to code and test for for all of our websites.  Overall though I dig the new browser and already feel like it’s my browser of choice.
