Technology Mashup

Thoughts from my first 5 minutes of using Google Chrome

Ok, so I've checked it out on my windows box and I must say its very impressive. My corporate system is very secure, and Chrome seems to have coped with the proxy very well. Here are my notes.

• Design is very simple and plane, this really adds to the experience, i like the use of the 70’s style shape on the tabs, but the logo looks like a pokeball
• Ubuntu - Disaster ! its not supported
• All the standard short cut keys work
• Hotmail - Works, just fine, even behind the proxy
• BBC and Google; Hung at resolving proxy, but when off the proxy works great. - works just fine
• Very responsive
• iPlayer works just fine

Overall I think its a pretty good browser, far better than the one that we made for OpenTV !
 

If the mighty Google make a Ubuntu version I may just switch.
