I was supposed to blog about Google Chrome the day it was released but obviously I didn’t . It was officially released on the 2nd of September if I am not mistaken. I used it since the day it was released and am quite happy with its performance though it is far from perfect. Here is what I can say about Google’s new browser.

The Good:

- I normally transact online and access my bank’s website thru the internet. And good news for me, Metrobank works with Google Chrome unlike some other browsers.

- I love the bigger viewing space caused by removing the title bar and menu and moving the tabs on top. Great job on this.

- The idea of listing the most visited sites as homepage is a good one as this saves me “click” time typing the address of the site I am going to or looking for it in the bookmarks.

- This browser is also less prone to crashes (from my experience using it) because of its good memory management. You can read all about it here: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

- Simplistic but elegant design is also a blast and is a good partner with Vista’s Aero looks.

The Bad:

- I was accustomed to not just using the “Back” button but having a list of “Back” sites to go back to. Hopefully this gets added in future revisions.

- Since this browser is new, it is not a surprise that some sites do not support it. I believe this will be fixed in time.

- As Google said, it cannot test the browser (during its pre-release stage) on sites that needs logging in. And one of those is my company’s website and its layout is sort of messed up when you visit it.

But overall, I like this new browser and I would give it a 9 out of 10.
