review of google chrome

Thoughts from my first 5 minuets of using google chrome

Ok so Ive checked it out on my windows box and I must say its very impressive. My corporate system is very secure, and chrome seems to have coped with the proxy very well. Here are my notes.

• design is very simple and plane, this really adds to the experience, i like the use of the 70′s style shape on the tabs, but the logo looks like a pokeball
• ubuntu – Disaster ! its not supported
• All the standard short cut keys work
• Hotmail – Works, just fine, even behind the proxy
• bbc and google; Hung at resolving proxy, but when off the proxy works great. – works just fine
• very responsive
• iPlayer works just fine

Overall I think its a pretty good browser, far better than the one that we made for OpenTV !
If the mighty google make a ubuntu version I may just switch.
