My days with Chrome

I have been using Chrome as my secondary web browser since it’s been released. Yeah, you’ve got it right, I have said secondary. It lacks lot of features that has been long time available in Firefox, I can understand it’s still in beta and Google’s been working on the killer features.

What I like about Chrome is that it’s got better response time than any other browser I ve used till date. It’s insanely fast for my usage, but I personally feel it can’t be my mainstream browser unless it comes with my most used features like Keywords in bookmarks, plug-in support, toolbar support. In work days I use quite a few keywords for accessing some my official intranet information. Lack of plug-in support in Chrome makes me feel incapacitated. I also fail to understand why Chrome was not released with Google Toolbar, which I use for having my bookmarks online. I hope the next major release will have most of these features. So till then, Firefox prevails as my mainstream browser.

Google’s Chrome

Chrome is Google’s open source browser, which is expected to be released today. Let’s see whether it’s going to be a yet another browser, just from Google or going to change the way how users look at the web. Find the comic created by Google.

Google, you’re allowed to err but not this sort of mistakes

 

I have been looking for a laptop quite some time now and reading reviews of various models. I wanted to know about HP’s Pavilion notebooks, went ahead and googled for ‘HP Pavilion’. To my surprise, on the result page I saw an Ad for ‘HP Pavilion’ with product description of one of the Dell’s models. I followed the link, which took me to Dell’s product page. First off, I was looking for a HP model, but Google took me to Dell’s site – possibly the worst user experience, secondly I don’t know who is being charged for the ad? Is it going to be HP or Dell? Will HP pay for an ad that actually promotes Dell? I believe this is a serious issue, which misleads the branding and it directly affects the parties hosting the ads.  Google, there are good chances for you to get sued for this sort of completely irrelevant and misleading ads. Up until now, I believed Google’s ad platform is much better and appropriate than any others on the globe, I did not really expect this sort of glitches from Google. Hey googlers, have not you ever noticed these glitches?

Here is the snapshot of what I saw…
