Chrome: first impressions and a quick review

Well… I’ve just finished playing with Chrome and wanted to share my first impressions. What can I say? “Clean, but bare-bones.” That’s how Google’s new browser felt after half an hour. Honestly, if it came with an email client too, today would have been the day I switched my whole setup 🙂 But alas, it’s just a browser for now. A fast, convenient browser, and 100% integrated with Google: just look at the suggestions it gives you while typing a URL in the address bar. I wasn’t keen on the missing toolbar 🙂 They could have included that by default, although does an ordinary user need it? Of course not. Plugin support is still a question mark, but it looks as though that’s coming in later releases. Somehow, it reminds me of Opera about 5-6 years ago. Everything you need seems to be there, yet something’s missing. I suppose I’m used to those long menus in Mozilla and IE. My verdict: it deserves a chance, but I’d still wait another couple of releases.
Do you agree?
