Google's "Chrome" Browser
Lately I've been using Google's new "Chrome" browser. When it first came out, a few months ago, it was the main topic of discussion on many computer internet sites. Now, nothing.
Chrome is on the spare and somewhat mysterious side, but I like it. It's fast and stable, and it has a graphic menu feature on its home page that is much like the Speed Dial add-on to Firefox, except that you can't change things on it yourself. Instead it updates itself on the basis of how often you visit your favorite sites, which in itself is interesting to see from one day to the next. It only has room for nine sites at a time, and that could stand expansion in future updates. But just that small number is turning out to be about enough for me.
So far I've been using Chrome mainly for listening to two 24-hour progressive political radio sites: Air America and Nova M Radio. Having the lowest strength of Wild Blue broadband makes this possible, here in the woods.
