In an attempt to reclaim Windows image, Microsoft is coming up with ad blitz involving top pop icons. And the first one is with Jerry Seinfeld check it for yourselves.
It didn’t work for me they looked like to two odd couples. No Chemistry whatsoever.
Off late Microsoft seems to mess up things in their execution this one being no exception.
So what do you think of this one and does it make sense?
Google’s Chrome !! September 2, 2008

Just now I downloaded the beta version of Google’s new browser Chrome.
Very simple interface with what now have become standard features of a browser that is multi tabs, importing your bookmarks etc. What’s interesting though with this one is if one your browser tab crashes whole browser doesn’t crash down instead the only the affected tab closes, thanks to multi process browsing. Talking about tabs, unlike IE and FF, Chrome puts the tabs on top of the browser window above the address bar. The dynamic tab is really cool. You can drag and drop tabs one over the other or as a separate window.
Another cool feature is incognito or the stealth browsing mode that allows you to browse without logging your browsing and download histories. But remember the websites you visit will still have records of your visit. And all your saved downloads will still remain in your pc.
Chrome also shows your recent visited sites in nice thumbnails. Cool heh? But this was done long back by opera.
And regarding memory I think FF uses lesser memory than Google chrome. The Chrome browser itself uses about 75MB now if you open few tabs 5 to be precise , the total memory is around 200MB for the same with FF it was just around 100MB so hopefully this will be sorted out.
No add-ons feature as of now.
Since it’s only a beta version some websites might not display properly. So unless you’re a power browser user/developer I would say wait for the bigger better power version of chrome.
Of course this is just the beginning we will be seeing better version of chrome very soon, well hopefully.
How this will affect Mozilla’s and Internet Explorer’s market share, we will soon know the answer to that question.
Let the browser war begin..
