& then came Google Chrome

When was the last time these geeks let your soul rest in peace and let things be as they were. Never, because that's why they are "the geeks", you know.

I am talking about a hoard of web-browsers that seems to have crept up from nowhere. I am not a net junkie nor am i a software guy who keeps up with the latest viruses and trojans on the net. I am someone who uses a system (a computer) for work, to make presentations, databases, reports and other related things, if you get the hint. So what if i have computers degree with me, naah, that does not make me a geek!

Anyway, as far as i can remember, some of the latest web-browsers that have come up in last year or so are - Internet Explorer 8, Mozila Firefox 3, Apple Safari, and then... the much awaited - Google's Chrome.

I can't take somethings away from Chrome (read Google) because somethings are really good about it. Like the tabs appearance, separate process trees for different tabs (so that if one crashes, your browser does not die), it of course does work better with Google wares (Gmail, Gtalk, Orkut, etc), its faster (loads web-pages faster - as they claim - why didn't i feel so?). Oh yes1 i forgot to mention the Java applications handling prowess of Chrome.

But somethings (a lot of things, i guess) are missing, let me try and make a list -

• Plugins - Download, book marks, PDF covertors, Ad blockers, Others
  
• Skins
• Not compatible with systems which have Symantec as their Anti-virus programs
• It does not work with Windows version lower than XP and Vista (though there are codes available now)
• Etc

For me it somehow still does not beat Mozila Firefox 3, I am still convinced someday Chrome shall get better of Firefox but untill then i will wait and Hail Mozila FireFox!
