Yesterday, Google released the open-source browser Google Chrome,
I tried to challenge IE and Firefox with this browser. I downloaded and used it for the first time.
Chrome, I feel quite disappointed. This browser is still too weak and cannot replace Firefox3 or IE7. It is estimated that it can only be used. For
Google Chrome's disappointment lies in the following points.
1. Google Toolbar not supported
Google's browser does not even support Google's Toolbar. This is incredible, and I have to doubt whether this tool was launched in a rush. Search for those habits on the toolbar
For Google users who click Gmail and Google Reader on the toolbar, Google Chrome does not provide better convenience for accessing Google.
2. Chinese font Problems
Google
Chrome has some problems with Chinese font display. The simplest example is accessing Gmail. The Chinese font in the three buttons above is ugly, which is actually a bit similar to Firefox, but in
You can set the "minimum font size" in Firefox to solve this problem, but it is not displayed in Google Chrome.
3. drop-down address in the address bar
In IE and Firefox, click the rightmost side of the address bar to pull out some recently accessed URLs. This simple and practical function to enhance the availability of the browser is not found in Google Chrome.
4. Plug-ins and extensions
The plug-in and extension cannot be found, and the function and availability of browsers without extension are greatly reduced. It is undeniable that an important reason for users to switch from IE to Firefox is that Firefox has a large number of extensions.
5. the toolbar cannot be customized.
The toolbar of Firefox and IE can be customized. You can choose what to put on the toolbar, but Google Chrome cannot.
6. Only import and export operations are not performed.
Google Chrome can import favorites and browsing records of IE and Firefox, but cannot export favorites. I don't know who I learned this trick, but I cannot export it to. For Cookies, I didn't find Google Chrome's function of importing and exporting Cookies.
7. New tab features
Creating a new tab displays the user's "most visited website". Users can directly see the most visited website. This is a nightmare for many people to use a computer, even worse, we still cannot find a way to disable this function.
8. A large number of missing Functions
Google
Chrome still lacks many basic functions of browsers, such as page setting, preview, full screen display, offline work, status bar, menu, etc.
Chrome developers think that these functions are irrelevant, but to become a popular browser, many seemingly "simple" functions cannot be omitted at will.
All in all, I feel like Google
Chrome's functions cannot replace existing IE and Firefox browsers. It can be used for work, learning, and reading. Google
There is still a long way to go in Chrome. I hope that Google Chrome is still in the beta stage, just as Google said, and its real functions have not been well developed yet.
