This is interesting. I downloaded Google Chrome version 4.1.249, another alternative internet browser, and like what Google UK website said about this browser: "Google Chrome runs websites and applications with lightning speed".
The three "FASTs" they used to promote the browser are: Fast START-UP, Fast LOADING, and Fast SEARCH. Well, I tested the theory with my laptop of 8 years: 256 MB of RAM, running on Intel Pentium IV mobile processor with 16MB of graphic card... And I'm happy with the start-up and search. As for loading, there is always another limiting factor, the speed of my internet and also the amount of other applications I'm running.
They also mentioned on Google UK that "it's free and is installed in seconds". Umm... I agree on the "it's free" part, but with my computer, it took MINUTES instead. I know, the age of my laptop is another limiting factor.
Yet, there is a downside which I have yet to find the solution... When I add a photo to my blog, I could not adjust the size like how I can using Mozilla or IE. This is something which I don't really like, as I do blog quite often, when I find I have things to share about.
However, all other things compensate this tiny flaw, which I hope will improve as time goes by. Maybe they have improved it, but I just don't know it yet.
