chromeatosed
I am writing this post post from chrome as everyone is bloging about it and google seem to be pushing it hard with a link on there front page. The early reports are that 1% of the internet population are using chrome and the stats across my sites are showing 1.8% but this is not the shape of things to come. Its simply tech savy and curious people checking out the browser. It’s the latest step in googles attempt to become the internet and out do microshaft. And whilst it’s a good browser they will not beat ie who cater for 64% of my daily users due to ie being shipped with windows.
As a developer my first thoughts where great another friggin browser to debug sites in but it seems to render my sites well with no bugs. Chrome has a kind of safari feel and loads fast. But letting my misses (a normal internet user) play with it is a different story. She uses ie and mainly only goes online to mess around on facebook “wheres the homepage button” was the first question. It took me a few minutes to work that one out as you have to activate a button that people use most. Her next observation was whats the difference and why did they bother. Enuf said!!
