My biggest gripe, though, is that Chrome ignores RoboForm and Ad Muncher. He'd also miss Web of Trust (WOT) and IE Tab. complained that he can't use tons of Firefox Plugins such as Shutterfly Uploader, Photosynth, or Garmin Communicator. Some of my Firefox buddies have also tried and released Chrome because it's missing features they rely on. Even a simple task like dragging and dropping a link onto a browser window to open a new tab isn't available. For instance, Chrome won't let me assign a sticky to a tab, send a tab to the desktop, or create groups of Web sites.

I'm a huge fan of Maxthon, a free browser that uses IE's engine, and Chrome doesn't even come close. The browser's underlying architecture, and the tab independence, lets most Web sites fly open faster than I've seen since I moved to broadband from dial-up.Ĭhrome is still in development, so it's missing those cool things built into your favorite browser, the tools you're used to having at your disposal.

Speed-fast-loading pages-is Chrome's best achievement (aside from scaring the pants off of Microsoft, of course). Each tab is independent, so if one tab is slow loading, or has a scripting problem and jams, there's no adverse impact on the others. The fact that each tab is really a window running a separate process is innovative and smart. Sure, I know that you've read reviews of Chrome, and many of you have tried it. I did an informal poll on a private list I moderate and with 100 people responding, 60 percent of the responders tried Chrome, but went back to their original browser. Chrome wasn't on the list when I checked the other day.

According to PC 's tracking service, 36 percent of all visitors to the site use Firefox, 31 percent use Internet Explorer 7, 17 percent use IE 6, and the rest are on Safari, Opera, AOL, and Mozilla. I don't know whether to doubt that-or just wonder. One article I saw recently says Chrome grabbed a bunch of users in short order (see "Chrome Grabs 1 Percent of Market in Under 24 Hours").

The company released its Chrome Web browser and everyone's writing about it.
