First impressions of Google Chrome

This is the first day that Google Chrome, the new web browser, was available for downloading by the general public.

These are my impressions of my first 40 minutes of using the new browser - 

1. It is very clean - as one has come to expect from Google
2. It is so clean that it takes a while to find all the usual tools such as setting your Home page and using tabbed browsing.
3. Tabbed browsing works in the same way as in other browsers - using the Ctrl key or mouse wheel.
4. Once I had found the tools - by using the integrated Google search - it all seems very logical.
5. The bookmarks and links are automatically imported from one's previous browser on installation.
6. Page loading is as quick as Firefox.
7. The integration of the address and search bars makes for a very economic use of screen space.

I will continue to experiment with the program and post another blog on the subject in a few days time.
