Google - Chrome
Yesterday I tried out a new browser. This one is called Chrome and is one of Google´s new things.
I have to admit that I really like this browser, it´s fast and simple and from one day of use I can´t see any issues regarding css which would be a bugger for me as a developer. As far as I know this browser is driven by the same engine as Mozilla Firefox which I also like alot.
One nice feature that Chrome has is that when you open a new tab then you get a thumbnails with all the resent pages that you have visited. The same thing happens when you open the browser.
Chrome when you open new tab
In Chrome you can get a detailed information about the xhtml and css code in a seperate window which is very nice when you are developing. But this is no Firebug because you can´t manipulate any values like you can in Firebug. To open this window you just right-click anywhere in the browser and chose “inspect element”.

I urge you to try this nice browser. You can download it here

hi Bippi,
I wanted to correct you, it’s not built on top of firefox, but the safari browser, so called webkit rendering engine, also available for linux as Konqueror browser. But I agree, I think it’s a good browser, but did you try out IE8 ?

Yea, you are right Reynir. Just after I wrote this blog my friend told me that it is Safari not Firefox. I got my info from a danish forum, obviously they were wrong.
But my friend also told me that much of the developing work for Chrome was actually done here in Aarhus Denmark!!
