Well one day into using Chrome and I like the simplicity of it and that it remembers and puts up pictures of websites I’ve been to often/recently so I can get to them quickly. It seems to be a bit faster than IE as well. So far so good - have only had to click into another browser (Firefox) in order to complete Thing #7 installing the LibX browser - not sure how much I will use it, but as I’m not currently in classes will have to wait and see. For now Chrome is going well!

Hi Clare. Your blog is now on the Participant’s blogs list. Thanks for being patient. I’m really interested in your experiments with browswers.
I use Chrome quite a bit. I really enjoyed the way they accompanied the release of it with a comic - http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ . I actually read much further into the technical specs than I would have otherwise.
It’s meant to be much more lightweight and a bit faster. I don’t notice it so much on my machine. I have had a couple of problems with using it to edit a particular wiki that I often edit, which is why I don’t use it so much.
I really love the way that it sets up the starting page of your most recently visited sites.
