This day, I had to take a break from programming. How do I relax? I upgrade the browser software on my computers! I have upgraded to the latest version of FireFox v3.6.3, and also upgraded Google Chrome to the 5.0.342.9 beta version.
I have been comparing the two browsers all day today, and I have found that FireFox has many more “personas”, and “themes”, than Chrome has, hopefully that will change soon. I am in love with the FireFox Two Little Birds persona. I have settled for the Tibi theme in Chrome, but I don’t really like any of these Chrome themes as much as the FireFox themes and personas. It’s a personal thing, I know…
However, as far as extensions and plug-ins go, now the Chrome allows you to add extensions, Chrome is hands-down the best browser out there as far as I am concerned. Above, you can see a screen shot of me typing this blog post on my Chrome browser. Along the the top, next to the address bar, are all the little icons for all the extensions I have installed.
I have installed the following:
Gmail
Google Voice
Google Buzz
Google Caledar
Google Wave
IE page
bit.ly
delicious
Sharaholic
Chrome SEO
You can get any of these extensions from this link: https://chrome.google.com/extensions
Happy browsing!
