I've been using Google Chrome (or, rather, the unbranded Chromium that's available in the Debian repositories) for awhile now, but have been holding off on blogging about it due to a combined laziness and desire to have a very complete review ready.

I'll start with the obvious; yes, it's fast, really fast. It's faster than Safari (I'm no expert on Safari, but I've used Macs with Safari), it's faster than Konqueror, it's faster than Firefox (current version; Mozilla's talking about their newest optimizations).

One of my biggest gripes is that it bears little resemblance to the rest of my apps, but that isn't too big of a problem. After all, the web page inside it isn't going to.

The Omnibar is pretty cool. It's taken me awhile to break the gg:term habbit, but such simple changes can be adapted to pretty quickly.

It's also more extensible than Konqueror. I know I don't need to explain that, but there's more. A lot of the extensions are actual useful things, like turning all the sites a healthy black-on-light-grey and giving my most of the nicer features of Konqueror (disable Flash until clicked, for example). I'm torn for favorite add-on between the color switcher and Flashblock.

I also haven't run into a site that hasn't worked in it.

Is that it? Yes, it is...
