Google Chrome: Pros and Cons
Yes, that's Google Chrome
Google just announced a new beta for Google Chrome. And I have some problems with it.
Problem #1: New Tab Page
I love chrome, especially for its “New Tab” Page. You know, the one that lists the most visited websites you’ve been to, and the recently closed tabs? Granted, I like that you can now move the “Recently Visited” pages around, but now I have to scroll down to see my recently closed tabs. Extra work. Isn’t Chrome supposed to be simple? Ok, call me lazy.
Problem #2: The Themes
Ok. I see potential in this, but some of the themes are just DISGUSTING. They don’t have Aero Glass, either. Yes, I like some of the themes, but… you know.
Features they should add to Chrome:
- Full Screen Tabs – Chrome should have a feature to switch tabs while in full screen mode.
- Windows 7 Taskbar Integration – Where you can access jump lists of your recently visited, multiple window buttons for tabs, etc. IE & Safari already has this feature.
- RSS Feeds – Hopefully they’ll add a RSS reader.
- Multiple search select button – Drop down box to select a search engine.
- Plug-in support – Like Firefox.
All in all, I like Google Chrome. I’ve liked it for a while. It still needs a lot of more features, like plug-in support, and full screen tabs, but, at least they are making a good browser better.
