Another Google Chrome Issue
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 by adminI have been using the Google Chrome browser more often lately because it is just so much faster than Firefox or IE. With this has come some serious set backs though when it comes to time.
I would think that with the speed increase in the way pages load and how quick the browser itself opens would be a good thing and it is but not at a sacrifice of very important features.
I use pretty much all of the google command options such as site: link: cache: related: and define:. There are others as well but you get the idea. So anyway I use these rather often to save time. I type them right into my address bar on FF and all is well. Now I try any of these on Chrome and it just does a redirect to my iGoogle page and then I have to type everything again into the search box on the page. At least if the address bar is not going to work like other browsers in this area the least they could do is populate the iGoogle pages search box with the query you just typed in your address bar.
I do like the browser a great deal. I would have to say that it is geared towards web developers more than it is the web user and being that it is this way I think the features a web developer uses most often that are Googles features in the first place should/would be included in their own browser don’t you?
