First Impressions on Google Chrome Web Browser

Just thought to write about the Chrome web browser from Microsoft Developers perspective.

Browser can be downloaded from http://www.google.com/chrome

1.  Silver light is not Supported  (No Silverlight to start with)

2.  Ajax toolkit project will not work as they work in IE. I have seen even IE8 breaks some functionality in AJAX enabled web pages.

3. You can debug/dump the JavaScript for a page as well as separate JavaScript console.

4. Basic problem from DEV perspective - Newlines are interpreted in much diff way in markup. Also Image (absolute)  alignment are bit different. 

Overall the browser is fast....feels much like  Firefox.


Things that I liked

1. No Window header (The Title of the Browser) Tabs start from (0x0) - maximizing the browse area

2. Caching is nice.

3. Creates the list of frequently visited site instead of Showing "You have just opened a new Tab"

4. Search and address bar are the same and gets very handy in 2 minutes.......no learning curve there.
