Is Chrome the Right Browser for Netbooks?

by Sam Dean - Sep. 08, 2008Comments (1)

Our sister blog JKOnTheRun has an interesting post up about why Google's Chrome browser should be the browser of choice on netbooks--low-cost subnotebooks such as the Asus Eee PCs. For now, Chrome is Windows-only, but Google is working on a Linux version. Among JKOnTheRun's reasons why Chrome suits netbooks so well are: better memory management, upcoming plug-ins, and a smart home page. Among these, better memory management does look like it could be very valuable on netbooks, which typically don't have tons of RAM. Chrome may have a bright future on other types of mobile devices, too. Check out the post.

It's bugged, and it's bugged a lot. It's almost official - http://www.votetheday.com/polls/googles-chrome-173/ I'm disappointed in Google - yeah, it's beta, but remember, how Gmail beta looked like... Looks like guys had to deliver it till deadline (10th birthday, maybe), and they were obviously short of time... It's better than IE, but FF will live excellently long until Google fixes everything and makes enough plug-inns and versions for Mac/Linux...
