I can’t disregard my Firefox browser after all.  Chrome is great and I would want to label it my favorite browser but it’s just not yet mature.  Here’s a list of Google Chrome’s negatives, at least from my perspective:

• It still doesn’t have any plug-in capability - at least not the one that Firefox has. I picked up a habit of checking the Alexa ranking of every website I visit and Firefox has an Alexa plug-in that I’m highly dependent of.
• A link is not colored appropriately when it has already been visited.
• It can’t remember field values - this is very handy when I fill up a form to buy electronic plane tickets (and the like). Read more »

Yes, that’s right. Hold it, I’m not a bandwagoner. I just like it because:

It has a good user interface. The toolbars don’t take up so much space. I also like that the tabs are at the topmost portion of the browser.  It’s a genius idea really.

Conventional browsers have their tabs at the 2nd or 3rd row of the toolbar/menu.  The page titles shows on the tabs, as well as, on the window titlebar - a bit redundant.  Chrome removed the title from the titlebar and moved the tabs there, brilliant. Read more »

There’s a new browser in town: Google Chrome. If you can judge a book by its cover, I like it already. I like chrome, silver, aluminum and similar looking objects.

So why is Google doing this? Aside from the usual world domination (just kidding), they say they spend most of their time working inside a browser.  So, they thought of bringing together the “best elements out there”. Read more »

Here’s a cool application that guesses your gender based on your browser history. I know, it’s scary, right? No, not the gender guessing but the ability of a web application to look through your browser history.

I just tested it and I’m relieved it guessed my gender 98% correctly.  Here are the “guess ratings” it made when it intrusively navigated through my browser history: Read more »

Finally, Adobe, Google and Yahoo are working to enable search for Flash-based content. Me thinks Adobe is a bit slow in optimizing their Flash player technology.

One reason why most sites refrain from using Flash exclusively is because of its file size overhead. The other reason is SEO - it’s impossible to crawl Flash content. Read more »

I’ll put my geek hat on for a while.

I hate it when sites like microsoft.com use buttons, instead of links, for their download services. Here in the Philippines, when you download a 300+ megabyte file, you will need a download tool like Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) because, chances are, you will get disconnected from the Net from time to time and your download gets broken.

DAP, of course, can resume broken downloads. DAP can catch your download clicks and make the request itself. However, when a particular site’s download link is not a link but a button, DAP doesn’t quite catch it. I don’t know if this is possible but I tinkered DAP for about 5 minutes and I couldn’t quite figure it out. Read more »
