But after having given it a thorough spin, I find that’s all there is to it.
The Interface is Simple in the extreme, and its import ability [with Firefox] was extremely superfluous. I have discovered a few things that both work for and against its adoption as it stands right now.
Pros:
- Fast, sleek and a no frills approach to loading web pages and internet dynamic content.
- It does take up relatively small amounts of memory [RAM] to operate, though for every tab it takes up to 12-15 Megs for each tab.
- Intuitive design and scheme of layout, reminiscent of IE 7. [ Kinda make me wonder why?]
Cons:
- Has a lot of features [NOT!] certainly lacking in that department, but as I have seen with google. That will change over time.
- It appears to be a little TOO simplistic for business or IT adoption, however children will take to it like a snickers bar, and an Xbox 360.
- It definitely lags on .NET and ASP pages, probably due to the coding and lack of Microsoft compatibility. Hence why IT has taken a pass on its usage let alone trying to see for themselves.
All in all, its fast, clean and extremely easy to use. It is still and early adoption test, and for those who like trying something new, this takes the cake for now. For example, I;m writing this post through chrome as we speak. And I don’t see any really difference, rather than the points I stated above.
But don’t take my word for it, try it out for yourself. And tell me what you thought I’m curios to see what you have to say about it.
Here to stay and develop, or another fruit lost on the vine? Only time and testing will answer that one.
