Google Chrome is finally here…..!

September 29, 2008

The idea of choosing one browser for all Web interactions has become a thing of the past in my office.

My browser toolkit includes Internet Explorer, Firefox - and now Google’s Chrome. Each browser  has found its own niche on my desktop. There are applications where one of these tools is  usually the best choice. That’s why I often have two different browsers running at once

Firefox is my preferred browser for everyday use. It is my Swiss army knife for general purpose browsing.

Internet Explorer gets the nod for Microsoft-specfic Web sites and services, and for our Microsoft-centric Web conferencing system. It just works better.

Chrome is my choice accessing all things Google, just as IE 8 is my preferred tool for accessing Microsoft products and services online. And the Google world of online services I access just keeps expanding.

I like Chrome’s lean appearance. It feels more nimble and lightweight than its more  feature-laden peers. But the real value of Chrome is for accessing my Web 2.0 apps in the  Googlesphere. I fire it up when I’m using Gmail and other Google apps such as GoogleDocs,  Picasa Web Albums and Google Groups.

I can’t confirm that there’s a measurable difference in performance - although CNET says it’s faster - but it feels quicker.

Matt Glotzbach,Google’s enterprise product management director, certainly made a claim to that  effect when I spoke with him at EmTech08 last week.

“Our web based apps are pushing the limits of what browsers could handle. We found ourselves  bumping into what they could do in rendering and Javascript. [Chrome] is our attempt to push  the browser market a huge giant leap forward.”

He points to Chrome’s open source, V8 engine, which he claims processes Javascript code “two orders of magnitude better” than other browsers.

Speeds and feeds is all fine and good, and Chrome has some other cool features as well. But  the other important piece for me are the application shortcuts. I tend to create shortcuts to key documents on the desktop (to do lists, calendar, etc.) and now I have my Google Calendar and Google Docs on the desktop as well. Each appears in a stripped down browser window that  dispenses with the browser controls and tabs, presenting a streamlined Web app.
