Google Chrome - First Impression

Excellent as usual a great product from Google. The most appealing features are

1. Home page dashboard.  The most visited sites and bookmarks are placed on home page as portlet. Good idea and very intuitive.

2. Each tab is a new process. As a software engineer, we need to look into details of this feature, how we are going to maintain state between different windows. Now it is something not well defined in document.

3. Speed, because of each tab is a process, different memory space, the speed is amazing. An unscientific test result, IE 7 took 22 Sec to load Cnn.com and Chrome took 14 sec to load. 

4. Security, as per documentation Chrome is very secured and automatically find phishing, key monitoring etc. 

5. Simple, clean and easy to use. It took me 30 secs to download installation file, 20 secs to install, 20 sec to import already existing bookmarks from IE, 2 mins to see new feature, thats it.

6. Chrome specific task manager is something everybody going to talk about it.

hi Subba,
Chrome did not satisfy the hype aroused.
Chrome lacks the status bar.Imagine a person using chrome in dial up connections.
Chrome uses outdated safari 3.1, which is notorious for the carpet bomb flaw.

I disagree. A) Status bar is 1947 concept. If you see a circular bar at each tab is the modern status bar. Its spin speed is connection speed and page load status. B) It is just a beta release; there is lot of room for improvement.

I have to explore more about carpet bomb flaw…it would be great if you educate me on this,
