Google Chrome: Review


This is the kind of browser I always wanted. Sleek slender. The first thing that I was looking in the browser was, keyboard shotcuts, I cant live without them and my search took me to this page.

my asset is my favourites(Bookmark) which I need access at the stroke of the keyboard. But chrome is not able to do that for me. Alt+A(IE) and Alt+B (forfox) nothing like that I see here in chrome. Makes things difficult for people like me who hate to drag the mouse around. Thank god F5 refreshes the page. There are some great key combos too:

but the bookmark shortcut is the most disappointing. Does not work for me like FF or IE. Don’t have great testing tools for browser testing but as the end user, I am finding chrome elegant but highly expecting. It is expecting users to adapt himself to the browser instead browser being so smartly designed that it adapts to the User behavior. Hope chrome would go from good to great in the next release.
