Selling Google’s weaknesses to the government
French security firm Vupen is teaching law enforcement how to spy through Chrome
Hey techies
I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser since it came out. I like the tabbing system and find it nice and lean compared to Firefox. But a few weeks ago it suddenly got really slow, and started crashing with only a few open tabs. Weirder, when I launch the program to the google home page, the Google app tabs across the top left — the ones for searching Web Books Maps News GMail More… take three or four seconds to appear, and then they fade in like the opening credits on an art film.
Chrome, Yo
I spent a bit of time last night playing around with Chrome, the new browser from Google. The interface is nice and clean — a bit too clean, for those of us used to having everything laid out in a series of menu bars. The most obvious change is that the address bar and search bar are the same thing: just start typing and it gives you suggestions for both urls and search terms. It seems to have streamlined a few tasks — downloading is a bit easier, as is bookmarking pages. But it does not appear to support RSS feeds yet, which is a pain.
