Google Chrome - Wow!!!!

Tried out Google chrome…. And my only response is, I am addicted!!!!

 

I had started off expecting that I won’t stick to it for long, considering that I am pretty happy with FF3. But after using Google Chrome, I realized the advantages of having a separate process for each tab. Yes it does not have the add ins, but I am sure those will follow.

 

Even IE8 beta 2 takes a couple of seconds to open a new tab (with no content displayed, except their usual about:tabs). Chrome opens up a tab, and also displays an intelligent page, in less than a second :O.

 

These guys know how to build a browser!!!

 

Things I love to do with this browser.

-          I enjoy draggin a tab out of the window…. The dragging UI is pretty cool

-          The rendering engine is pretty fast.

 

The only problem I seem to be facing is, I am not able to open google s applications such as Google reader. (When I try to open google.com/reader, it directs me to the login page but does not show the UI to login and just stops there). I need to figure this out. It may be because of some nonsense corporate policy (our company has some really crappy internet usage policies.)

 

Anyway,

Also check Serious Security Flaw in Google Chrome and Try To Uninstall Google Chrome (have not checked this considering the crap policies I mentioned about L).

During that time my team and I have architected and developed various web applications mainly for enterprises. (But below info is not restricted to enterprises) Other than the usual development and testing tasks involved, our focus area was to abide by multiple SLAs. One of the primary SLAs was to provide the users of our websites a very low (usually subsecond) response time (or page load time). To adhere to this SLA, we did multiple activities, in code, process as well as infrastructure. These include (but not limit to) - Using best practices including (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html) Determining the optimum number of calls to the databases, open connections, etc. Providing the fastest mechanisms to download associated content (such as stylesheets, JS files, etc. over CDN) And debugging the reason for the slowness of the websites, when ...
