geekism

i've been hearing how popular the new google chrome browser is, so ive been keeping an eye on what browsers are being used on a webpage i recently posted - this is being visited mainly by well educated viewers from new zealand....all i can say is googles claims of 4.7% of the browser market look like a bunch of ARSE - chrome appears to be less popular than seamonkey ffs! (opera 9.6 rules!)

and i have to admit, i like the new chrome browser, it's fast and stylish, (or at least I would like it if it wasn't unstable) while the ie7 browser is slow and repulsive, although that hasn't stopped it's popularity one bit, because punters are clueless!
for a first version chrome is pretty impressive - but there's a few missing features that really stuff it up....the lack of a bookmark manager kills it for me, (and not being able to import bookmarks from opera, or synchronise bookmarks between computers, or change it's appearance, are all big time crappy points) - but if they sort those out i'd make it my no.2 browser. at the moment i'm still using firefox 3 for occasional sites that won't work with opera, but firefox 3 runs like a dog, and i'd replace it in an instant. if they made the bookmark systems better than opera and made a linux version, i'd consider it for default browser - except that it's google, and i have issues about cia associated data spies organising my surfing, so i won't consider it for default browser at all really, i was just being a goober. and check out the operating systems - linux is going to whip sorry ARSED vista one day soon (but i gotta say last xp still rules)
