As you already know , Google Chrome browser came out. My first impressions are simply indescribable. I have no words. Cool . If I don’t find any serious problems in the near future, then I’m transferring from FF. True, not enough of some FF'esh addons, well, I will manage somehow.

... to the point . I was not lazy and made a small screenshot otchetik (you can even say a mini-review ;-)). Actually, I have listed all the main functions. And, which is nice, there are not many of them, but there is everything you need. We also cooperated with nikolaikopernik and I post his tests, impressions and conclusions here. Nikolaikopernik Thank you for sure! ;-)

UPD: Thanks for the comments on spelling and design. Once again I remind you that the topic will be filled and corrected in accordance with the wishes. Acknowledgments: Trept Ingolmo

Installation

At www.google.com/chrome we are offered to download an ekzeshnik in 475Kb. At first it seems that it is not enough for all the features that Google announced in the comic. All right This turns out to be a module for downloading a test version of the browser. The browser itself offers to load the settings of one of the installed partners and make it the default browser on the machine (standard). Interestingly, he does not offer to select a directory, and the machine is installed at C: \ Users \\ AppData \ Local \ Google \ Chrome \ Application. Weight - 46.5 MB.

Interface.

Google has long established itself as an adequate company that thinks about users and their needs. Therefore, design and usability are always at their best. Chrome is no exception. Everything is concise, compact and intuitive.

[+] Address line is under bookmarks (as in Opera). Even from a logical point of view, this should be the case (the address of the tab is to perpend the tab itself). In this sense, I do not understand IE and Firefox.
[+] button for adding a tab where it should be (in place of the proposed new tab, as in the new Opera). In this sense, inconvenient in Firefox done.
[+] even though the browser is a google development, you can select any other search engine as the default
[+] Virtually nothing extra
[+] speed is really amazing
[+] although the version and test, but you can see the guys from Google did their best - ran through all the "standard" (ie, regularly visited by me) sites - everything is displayed correctly and without failures.
[+] Immediately upon loading, I got standard plugins (flash ...). Perhaps he downloaded them from FF.

[-] no load indicator bar
[-] History and downloads are made as a separate tab (not for everyone’s liking). Although ... if we also take into account the search in history and downloads ... probably this minus and not minus at all)
Although, maybe I have not yet excavated all the settings (settings, by the way, not so much in the test version).

Separately, like the feature with dragging tabs between windows :)

Tests

In spite of the fact that this is the first impression from the novelty, we will be professionals and give some comparative data. Browsers participated: naked IE7, naked FireFox3 and Opera 9.51 with my settings (as I use it, from plug-ins - the most basic). Comp - athlonX2 64, 2Gb RAM, Vista 86x.
