Google Chrome - good or bad…

I downloaded Google Chrome the moment that I was able to. Sadly, this new addition to Google’s armory doesn’t appear to live up to expectations.

When I originally joined gmail it was basically a finished product. Despite the fact that it was beta it was an effective working tool. Google Chrome isn’t anywhere near to the level that Gmail was.

I will say that it was fast when I was using it, although it really didn’t agree with the sharepoint server I use at work. However, the fact that it doesn’t even support the oh so popular Google Toolbar is astounding. Toolbar is one of Googles most popular products. Why wouldn’t they make it work with their new entry into the browsing field? I know that they potentially feel that they should make the browser with the features integrated. That would be fine, except they didn’t do it.

At this point, I wouldn’t reccomend that anyone use it. They just didn’t give Chome enough… polish… to make it worth fighting with.
