I love Google products, and some of the recent integration they have been doing with Gmail and Google Calendar. But this time it has crossed the line.
Since my last post about giving up Google Chrome, I must have used it once or twice, but when I had heard that there was and update, I was curious to see if it would run any better on my aging system.
I went hunting for a way to update it, but to my surprise, it was already updated!!!
During the days leading up to the release of Google Chrome, I kept thinking... Oh, No, what's going to happen to Mozilla and Firefox. But after having test driven Chrome for about 2 weeks, I can say for certain that no serious Firefox user will give it up just yet. Google has it's work cut out if it wants to win this war.
With my aging computer, I was barely able to keep 5-6 tabs open using Chrome. With Firefox, I usually have two windows (one for Gmail, Facebook, etc and another one for whatever I am researching) Both windows usually have 6+ tabs open at any given time. Trying to multi-task with Chrome running was a nightmare. Because each tab is a separate process, the browser uses up 100% (or close enough) of my CPU cycles to keep itself alive.
One of the biggest stories circulating the blogospehre today is the 'mistake' that Google made, was to prematurely announce it's release of a browser - known as Google Chrome, which will compete against Firefox, IE and Safari.
