It’s great that you can sync your bookmarks now. Another nice thing is that an extension from Xmarks is available (last time I checked on the Xmarks site, they didn’t offer any integration with Chrome).

However, no Firebug yet. And Firebug Lite doesn’t count!

Firefox is like an old wife:

  • you have lots of things in common with her
  • she doesn’t move too much and is very slow
  • she’s not exactly the prettiest one out there
  • she takes a lot of your memory
  • sometimes she breaks down (and cries)

On the other hand, Chrome is like a young chick:

  • looks sexy
  • she is very active and fast
  • she doesn’t have any experience

I want to switch over to Chrome, but she is still too young :P

Along with the CADIE they also launched Chrome 3D. And this even works. Check the following screenshot:

I got to the point where I was accustomed to the new browser interface quite well.

Then the bad stuff began:

  • some pages looked weird. Probably Webkit doesn’t read a particular CSS correctly. But bothoth IE and FF do.
  • a minor bug with the refresh. It only happened on a particular page (http://www.loose.utt.ro/~oose/). Basically you have to hit F5 2 times to reload the page. Tested on 2 Chromes, each on a separate machine.
  • pages loading slowly. Again, I only compared it with FireFox which didn’t had this problem.

And it looks like surfing incognito doesn’t work so well on Facebook or Googel docs!
