Google Chrome?

Of late there's been a lot of discussions in the IT geek world about the new kid on the block - Google Chrome.

It's perhaps too early to start comparing Chrome with other browsers but since I started trying out Chrome about a week ago and constantly have to go back to Firefox when I see don't have the time to go searching for tools.

First, Chrome is just too bare - too simple. Maybe add-ons will come with time
And surprisingly you will have to visit the Google home page before googling. In Firefox you just have to type in your keywords in the navigation toolbar.

I'm also not too enthused about Chrome showing my most visited sites once a new tab/window is opened. Doesn't that come too close to personal privacy?

On the whole however, I see Chrome as more of a threat to Firefox than to IE. Most of those who will "experiment" with Chrome are already "experimenting" with Firefox.

On the whole however, I expect a bright future for Chrome. Google has always proved that! Perhaps I have already been caught in the web as I post this blog from Chrome
