You can read my latest comments while I'm testing the beta of Windows 7 over here, Folks.
I usually post something on my latest discoveries, tips & tricks, etc., so have a look.
It's early yet for beating the drum and singing praises, but so far, I like what I'm seeing. This little program seems to be designed to simplify our lives, rather than make them more complicated. I hope they show Microsoft how it's done! And they don't insist that everything should be 'Google' - and I suspected they might - and I was wrong.
They give you a choice of using any of the major (or minor) search engines currently known to mankind, and all you have to do to get one of them going is open Chrome, select Tools (look for the little wrench in the upper right), then find the button marked 'Manage', click it, and choose your favorite search engine from a l-o-n-g list, which also has a second list below it in case you didn't find your choice in the first 14... - See how easy it is? Browsing can be fun. Try it...
Here it is in action, folks....First Impression = "Winner!" Go get your own :)
Welcome to 'Browser Wars' everyone. So far, Google's entry in the dozen-or-so browsers line is a 'no show', and they've removed links to its previously-leaked download site. Mozilla has also said there will be a 3-week or so delay in its next release of Firefox 3's upgrade, and that will also get another session in beta before going 'prime time'.
Looks like everybody's looking over everyone else's shoulders, and revamping their own stuff in hopes of getting the jump on the competition. For whatever it's worth, I don't see anything terribly wrong with Firefox 3, that a little twiddling with the Bookmarks code couldn't cure. So what's all the excitement about? (Yawn...) What excitement? This is about as exciting as three-day-old cow pies, Kiddies. I wouldn't lie to you about that.
Update: -
But just for the record, here's the latest results of Googling the Old Coot tonight :)
I'm as surprised as you at the continuing popularity of 'O.L.B.'
If you go on Google, and click on their special header today, you can read all about it.
Please do, and enjoy your day, Everyone.
And if you're wondering, Google already knows about this...
