Google Chrome is great, but …
- 2 February
I have switched to Google Chrome as an experiment, around a month and a half ago. Now, I can say that this in fact is the best browser out there, but ...
There’s always a but
, eh?
There are so many things I love about Chrome, staring on the Tab system– the fact that it squeezes as much tabs as possible, even if that means showing the favicon alone. Finally, FINALLY, Flash isn’t taking the whole browser down like it used to do with Firefox and Safari.
Chrome for Mac is still in Beta, so there are things that might change, but somehow I don’t think the general UI will be altered, which brings me to the but
.
Moving the window. Most apps allow you to drag the window by clicking on any white space- there’s always a fair amount of it. When it comes to Chrome this is not the case. There’s very limited space you can drag the window by. Let’s compare:
Safari
Chrome
Solution
- Introduce Status Bar
- Add more spacing between top of the browser window and top of the Tabs container, which also allows to have the title of the page we’re currently browsing
