• Chrome 3 is here

    Yeah, I’m still using Firefox 3.5, and expect to do so for quite some time, but I use Chrome from time to time, just for the heck of it. It’s different, and in some ways (to my way of thinking) better than Firefox. And of course it’s better than IE 8, simply because it doesn’t use ActiveX controls.

    Google just announced the release of Chrome 3. Google says it’s new and improved, based on user feedback:

    a 150% increase in Javascript performance since our very first beta, a freshly redesigned New Tab page, an improved Omnibox, Themes capability, as well as HTML5 features.

    Give it a shot. You might like it. Be aware of the fact that Google is keeping tabs on where you’re going – unlike Firefox 3.5 and IE 8, there’s no “porn mode” in Chrome 3. But rest assured that Chrome is inherently far more secure than either IE 8 or Firefox. Try it out for an interesting change.
