Sanity Insanity and Moi

What should i comment on this browser. First thing that caught my attention was the cool technology that went into this beautiful little app. Remember the days when we used IE, then Fx came along and just tripped and toppled our whole browsing experience. Fx came up with the idea of tabs, imporved browsing experience, plugins etc. etc. You name it they had it, or rather they were ready to include that in their next realease.

I feel the same when i see Chrome or Google Chrome. Its the coolest idea that we can have for a browser at this point. A browser that doesnt crash or rather does a good crash. It never affects any of your other open sessions.

(Read the Chrome story)

The best fact - its open source. That means that even my granny can get the source code and help Google imporve it or can come out with her own Hare-Rama-Rahe-Krishna Browser for the religious kind.

After the initial interations with other users over twitter. I found that people have some common issues, worries, concerns etc etc and not to mention a funny stuff too.

Prasanth a fellow Mutineer, found the shift to Chrome taking a toll on his mental heath, it was too mentally tiring for him.

Sivaprasad was able to download the online installer, but as he was sitting behing a proxy and had to authenticate the installer didnt finish what it had started. He was kind enough to send in the fix for the problem which he found here.

For all those who need a complete offline installer, i have uploaded the same in my site and is awailable for download at this link - Chrome Download. This was Allajunaki’s idea

Interestingly Kiruba reported and error thrown by Chrome that read - “Google Chrome has encountered a problem and needs to close. Please tell Microsoft about it”.

Waiting for more reactions…
