So I'm gonna try to be more active on gamespot like i used to be a few years ago. I'll go back to all the forums with BigC and all the other guys. Or at least I'll try lol. I'll probably end up forgetting. but anyway ill try.
Also i got Bonkers 17 which is pretty awesome. I love Kevin Energy/Sharkey's mix. Epic ch00nage.
So I haven't posted stuff on Gamespot in a while. But I'm trying to procrastinate on my homework right now, so I decided to review the new google web browser released yesterday: Google Chrome.
I was really surprised by this browser. I expected it to be a piece of crap honestly. However, it really caught my attention with some cool details.
PROS:
-Interesting Design
-Search Bar/Address Bar/History all in one box
-Uses Bookmark toolbar from Firefox
-The main default start-up page is akin to speed dial from Opera except with history rather than favorites.
-Incognito browsing lets you browse without history tracking it(basically its for porn, not that I look at that, but for those of you who do........)
-The ability to make apps out of web pages with a simple click is pretty nice and useful.
-It renders different tabs separately so if one crashes, the others still work. I'm not too sure, but this seems to decrease the hit it takes on RAM.
CONS
-There are no add-ons. This is probably cuz the program's in beta, but anyway with add-ons it would be greatly improved.
-There is no option for saving all the elements of a web page like Firefox does. I suppose they don't have to, but this is one of the greatest features of Firefox and a big part of why it is my favorite browser.
FINAL VERDICT
Google Chrome is definitely impressive. It surprised me for sure. But is it the new browser to own them all? I don't think so. It definitely is a start however. Also it's only in beta right now. So by final version time, it could improve a lot. There are some great innovations in here too.
I'm not really one for grades but I guess I'd give it a B- since most reviews have some sort of system like that.
