Google Chrome 5.0.335.0 – Getting Respectable
This morning I noticed that the 'dev' feed of Google Chrome is at 5.0.335.0, and so I decided to download it and give it another try. The reason I'm not using it more is that I've found it to be very unreliable in connecting to the sites/servers that I want it to. I wanted to use it as my back-up browser, which is Firefox 3.6 now, but it just wasn't as stable and useful as Firefox 3.6.
While I use Google Chrome all the time in my work at The Shop, and find it to be a very respectable browser for the work I do there, the Mac OS X port is just not up to that level of quality - yet. Well... today when I tried 5.0.335.0 it was acting much better about getting to the sites and moving between them. Not bad.
Given this, I may give it a day or two and see if it holds up to the same load that Firefox does. If so, I may switch over. Would be nice to see.
