Now I’m totally a Chrome fan.
Speed is the very first thing Google has been always looking for, Firefox apparently is not fast enough.
Let’s make the web faster! Chrome is surely one of the most important part. If it can keep gaining popularity, then Google is possible to roll out more evolutionary changes to protocols and network infrastructures.
Without doubt, yes, after getting used to Chrome’s speed, you won’t be willing to waste the time with Firefox.
In the Firefox era I used to keep it open all the time as it required such a long time to boot up. Now I don’t have to with Chrome. It might be a little exaggerated but starting Chrome itself feels like opening a new tab in Firefox! (Actually the tabs in Chrome are indeed separate processes.)
Not to mention Chrome finally starts to support extensions, bookmarks sync and gorgeous themes. Currently I’m using only one extension named Metrist, a good-looking and enough powerful Twitter client. Bookmark sync is fantastic, the only thing I’m wondering is why Google stores them in Docs instead of existing bookmark app. For themes, oh it’s amazing that Google releases lots of themes created by various artists. Awesome!
Unfortunately someone still has to stick with Firefox as because of Firebug or similar extensions used for UI Development. Anyway supposedly you can use them both, get a fresh Firefox only with Firebug to develop, and a super-fast Chrome for daily navigation.
I’m looking forward to Chrome OS’s official release. I’ll definitely burn it into my netbook and use it everyday. (Thanks to the VPN, There’s no longer a strong wall standing in front of me.)
BTW, sometimes I really want to talk, but am not able to express with English in a good manner. So, there’s another Chinese blog here. Basically it’ll be just about my personal life which I’m not sure whether you’ll be interested. Anyway it’s always been a pleasure to write stuffs. As jjhou said, “Publishing is the best way to memorize.”
