New Google Search Page?
I was just reading this article comparing Google Search and Bing and I decided to check out both pages. I usually do most of my searching via the Chrome ‘Omnibox,’ or whatever it is called. When I went to www.google.com I noticed that it had a different, slicker appearance than I was used to. The buttons were styled diferently. And then, after about 3 seconds, more content faded in. Anyone know anything about this? How long has it been like this? There are some screenshots in the review I was reading and they don’t even match the new look and feel.
I think they might also be doing some browser sniffing, because it looked better in Chrome than in IE – and not just the normal stuff. It looked like different styles were being applied.
Chrome + Video = FAIL
I love Chrome, but man does it have issues when I am streaming video. I am not sure what exactly happens, but it seems to just get overwhelmed after a while and it takes my whole computer down with it. Maybe it is just me.
Google Chrome CPU Issues
Chrome was making my CPU go nuts and my whole machine was slowing down. I am not sure if it was Chrome or Wave, so I restarted Chrome and closed my Wave tab. We’ll see what happens.
Browser Article
I like browsers, and I liked this article: After 5 Years on Web, Firefox Preps for Next Round . I am excited for what the future holds.
Google Chrome
I was out with some friends last night and we were discussing web browsers. All three of us use Google Chrome as our main browser. It wasn’t too long ago that I was the only one using it and they were still on FireFox. The browser market is a tough one to get into, but I think Chrome can do it – not only because it is a great browser, but also because it has Google behind it. My wife and I were watching a show on hulu a few nights back and all of the commercials we saw were for chrome.
Bring on the OS.
