Well, I must admit, the name seemed lame to me...
"Ok, open up Chrome and navigate to www.mysite.com...".
That just doesn't sound right to me, but who am I to judge. More importantly, Google's new open source browser, "Chrome" which launched today, is somewhat analogous with its name. Clean, smooth, and organized.
When I first opened Chrome after installing it, I was a little distressed wondering "where is everything?" The feelings of confusion quickly dissipated when I began to surf. Sensible, no clutter, was a pleasant surprise amidst all the competition out there carrying all the whistles and bells one can imagine in a browser.
So far, I do like the way it renders pages better than FireFox. Seems like I find myself wrestling a little with GUI design of my ASP.NET apps and FireFox.
If you get a chance, download the beta, and take it out for a spin...
