Has Chrome killed Firefox?
September 3rd, 2008 | by Sajal Kayan |… well not yet…
Just a while ago, Google launched their own browser Chrome. It does look good, has many cool features, more secure, more stable, but still a beta. And this time its really a beta. Currently its available only for windows, however the main point is that its opensource and a Linux and Mac builds are expected soon.
My 5 minute experience with Chrome.
Screen 1 > Every thing looks good…
Screen 2 > Overflow!!
And No! I dont use windows! Just fired up VMware with Windoze XP to test Chrome
PS : If anyone got Chrome working with wine on Linux do gimme a buzz. Would like to know.

Sajal, it’s the same reason I haven’t tried it yet. Too lazy to bootup Windows in VM.

It’s about to come out of beta, but haven’t heard about the linux version. It works good on XP, but it’s tough to get me to change from Firefox. I need my extensions!

Ive used chrome a few times recently on my XP box and havent hit any problems so far, but like the widget guy above it will be hard to make a permanent switch without being able to port some extensions over.
