Well, I’ve now spent a full day using Chrome, the new browser from Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are many things I miss.  AdBlock.  Better GMail 2.  A download manager (I like DownThemAll for Firefox.) The status bar (ok, so I like to hover over a link and see where it’s going to open).<\/strike>  Update: DOH! You can hover over links.  It gives you a popup status bar, which goes away after moving off the link.<\/p>\n

There are many things I like.  Chrome is fast.  It’s wicked easy to move tabs into a new window, and back to the original window.  Firefox will let you do it, but it reloads the page.  Chrome simple moves the existing process into a new window.  Or back into a tab.<\/p>\n

The Google Chrome EULA is a bit scary<\/a>.  Supposedly, it’s going to be modified.  But we’ll have to wait and see if it truly is.  UPDATE: Here is a more "authoritative" post from Matt Cutts on the Chrome EULA question<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And they did change the EULA:<\/p>\n

\n

Update<\/strong>, Sept. 3rd 2008: Earlier today, Google changed section 11 of the EULA to read as follows:<\/p>\n

\n

11. Content license from you<\/p>\n

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m looking forward to new features as time goes on.  Google is usually pretty good at adding new features based on user response, so I’m sure we’ll see new stuff soon.<\/p>\n

I haven’t done any web development yet with Chrome, so I haven’t missed my developer tools in Firefox.  But I’m sure I will.  Of course, any decent developer uses several different browsers to ensure compatibility anyhow. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
