Google co-founder Sergey Brin must be a happy man today; after several months of waiting, his company finally released yesterday Chrome for the Mac.
But so far, my experience with Google’s Internet browser is a mixed bag. Overall, I prefer its user interface from Safari (clicking on the address bar highlights it, opening new Web apps in new tabs really works, the address bar *is* the search box, feels faster…), despite using Apple’s browser for years.
Chrome for Mac lacks proper bookmarks management, Mac OS integration, email page function and extensions
However, Google Chrome for Mac doesn’t offer the same level of integration than Safari, especially with iPhoto: I’m so used to copy a photo from a Web page right into iPhoto with a click of a mouse. I just can’t do that anymore with Chrome.
Most frustrating with Chrome is its poor bookmarks management, or the lack thereof. For example, you can’t delete a bookmark inside a bookmark folder, or get rid of the “Other Bookmarks” folder. Also, it’s not possible to email a Web page. This function is also a no-show on Chrome’s Windows version.
Google also said that “extensions” for Chrome’s Mac version are coming soon. It’s still very early for me to know what these extensions will bring to my overall experience, but despite some missing features, Chrome is now my default browser on all my Macs and Windows machines, and my Android phone of course! Now, if Google could synchronise all of them – like Opera can with the version 10 of its browser – that’ll be bliss!
If you desire to increase the traffic to your business then a easy way to do this is by utilizing a great social bookmarking software to automate the work. Having a automated bookmarking tool is vital, because this means you will save an average of 3-4 hours a day, or maybe an average of $200/month in bookmarking services while you create the greatest results in terms of traffic and Page Rank boost.
Google blog search is always great for finding new stuff! I was trying to figure out how to install an attic ventilator.. Don’t know why this one came up!
