Comment about: Google Chrome: Disruptive Technology

| September 04, 2008 | | | No it is not disruptive other than the PR brownie points. Not a single thing is new in Google Chrome other than the independence of tabs. Firefox, Opera, and even Safari are miles ahead in terms of functionality. That, plus having the first vulnerability discovered within a week of launch suggests that they were more keen on getting mileage. No themes, no font control, no extensions for basic functionality, and not quite the lightweight memory footprint that it said on the tin. Sorry, no cigar. The only thing going for Google may be that a 100 million users might see the browser link on the front page (if it decides to push it so) although I wonder if 80% of those users will actually understand anymore than Google Reader RSS feeds. | |
