How did I not know about this? Google Chrome? I just saw it the other night and downloaded it (obviously) and I'm so proud of them. I knew they were going to come out with their own internet type thing any minute now. But I'm just surprised that it was now and I hadn't heard about it.
Actually, I haven't been reading my Google Friends newsletters recently, because I've been busy and lazy (not to mention my general apathy towards technology) so I suppose it makes sense that I missed it. And apparently it's been out since September? Have I been asleep these long months? Long rant short, I was able to download it on Friday, and so now our computer has Google Chrome.
I haven't decided yet how I feel about it. It has a lot of good features (like the homepage having the most frequented sites and all, that's cool) but I don't like their history deleting system (can't selectively delete like in Firefox) and the fact that I had to change my options to have a little home button was a little weird. I use the home button all the time, because my homepage is Google, and, well, I use Google all the time. But in general, I'm proud of Google.
Oh! I seriously love the thing where the web address bar doubles as a Google search bar. I guess that's why I didn't really need my "home" button after all!
Of course, now we have three internet options on our computer, Microsoft, Firefox, and Chrome. So one of these days I foresee somebody in my family getting tired of it all and deleting two of them. So long as Firefox doesn't go. And Chrome. So IE can go.
Sorry, Mr. Gates.
