Alter Ego

I have started to use Windows XP again. I finally have to admit that I do miss Windows at times. The ability to start gaming at a whim is something I cannot live without. Does that make any sense?

Anyway, reviews of the spanking new Google Chrome are all over the web now. So there is literally no point of me making a review of it. But its worth a while to write down what I like about Google Chrome (and see if I can sway any of you to start using it too). Let's begin!

1. URL Bar 

The Google nerds call it the OMNIBAR. I love it. If you type in a URL, it will bring you to that website. If you type in a search terms (like 'anjing goreng' for example'), you get Google search results.

2. Download tab!

You actually don't have a download window. You have the download tab. Sleek, I like it.

3. No title bar!

I have never liked title bars. Thus, this has made Google Chrome to look very very very slick.

4. Incognito mode!

Porn mode! No cookies, histories, cache or whatever saved while you do your private business; like when you are doing online banking or... err.. yea, online banking (it's the fasting month people, please mind your.. err.. yea you get what I mean). Just press CTRL+SHIFT+N, and you are good to go.

5. It's fast

If you have used Opera before, this is about as fast as that, or maybe faster. They are both based on the same stuff anyway, Webkit. Mozilla Firefox is based on Gecko.

6. Independant url bar for each tab

You have to admit. It's quite a paradigm. Totally change my perspective. I love it. And the fact that each tab belongs to its own process... good job Google.

I have to say, Google chrome is sheer elegance in its simplicity :)
