Google has released yesterday a new browser called Google Chrome for Windows XP and Vista. I have downloaded it and installed it to see how my sites will look in the new browser.
Everything looks fine except for one glitch: overlapping of the social bookmarking buttons after each every post. This is still tolerable since I can make the tweak on the css (I hope).
With regards to using Chrome as my default browser it is still a no-no. Although that Chrome proves to be much faster than Firefox and IE (see the review of Stephen Shankland), it still lacks the features needed by web developers and internet marketers. I am referring to themes, add-ons and plug-ins that use to customized browsing enhancements. Firefox contains tons of these features from third party developers.
Perhaps in the future if the Chrome will be supported by the plug-in developers, I might use it as a default browser but until then I will stick to Firefox.
I just hope that the Chrome browser conforms to W3C standards so that webmasters will not be developing “css hacks” for new browsers.
By the way if you need to view your website in different browsers, you may visit browsershots.org. The site will render a view of your website in multiple browsers.
