Its fast, its simple, yet is advanced under the hood Features: Being somewhat new to the browser arena, chrome dosent have too many features, nor does it try to, instead keeping things clean and letting you focus on the web. Chrome was however the first to introduce sandbox tabs, as well as incognito mode (though the latter could possibly have been in opera prior to chromes release, im not sure). Chrome also has a single adressbar, but has intergrated search into it. Visit a site once, and use its search bar once, and you will be able to search that site right from the adress bar. Ill get back to this in the interface section. The browser is missing some bare bones stuff however, the lack of a built in RSS reader comes to mind. Performance: Though i cant provide any specs, Chrome has been pretty stable for me. The sandbox tabs help alot here. If a site freezes you can right click an empty spot along the tab section to open chromes own task manager, which shows tabs and plugins as diffrent processes. From there you can end them, in which the tab or plugin "blacks out", and is then unfrozen to do whatever you like. Interface: Chromes interface is a new approach in its interface. For one the tabs align at the titlebar of the browser. This works wonders when maximized, since you can move your cursor to the top of the screen, then move left and right to change tabs. This works alot like how moving the cursor to the bottom lets you switch focus on apps in the task bar. When restored however, the "handle" above the tabs that is used to move the window around can be a bit too thin. Chrome has also done a new aproach to the adressbar. Instead of having two seperate inputs (URL and search), chrome has combined these in a very user friendly and timesaving way. Searching for something with the deafult search engine is as easy as entering a query. If you want to search for a URL, just put a ? in first. Even better is the fact that the adressbar lets you search any other site with a search bar (mostly, chrome does not "pick up" gizmodo for example) All you have to do is use the sites search bar once, and chrome will reconize it. From then on, you can start typing the sites adress, and as soon as the auto-complete guesses the site (usually after one or two letters), press tab, then enter your query. The interface is pretty easy to get used to, and once you do, you wont wanna go back. Price/value: What is there to say? Its free! Closing comments: Safari users will no doubt love it (i was previusly a safari user) IE users (who use IE by choice) might miss the visual search, the web slices and the accellerators from IE8. Some alternatives to these features might come when google rolls out plug-in support however. Firefox users who use alot of plugins will probably miss alot of features, though again, plug-in support is coming. 2147483647 2007-06-13T05:16:01Z 34255 2019-11-12T12:13:09Z Google Chrome 20093 2009-12-02T12:46:27Z http://www.google.com/chrome http://wakoopa.com/software/google-chrome http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/006/977/normal.png?1238578445 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/006/977/thumb.png?1238578445 10267 Google Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/google-inc Check what's happening on the web 1 Browsers http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/browsers mac win Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google.

The execution however, could have been better. For example, when viewing your queue, you can only view the songs ahead. When you start a new song, the previous one is deleted from your queue, which gets really annoying. Also when searching for an album or an artist, you get a small list of albums and artist that fit your search. However you can not extend that list to view all the artists or albums that fit your search. Spotify is good at heart, but needs to be worked on... 50397802 2007-09-12T05:29:26Z 62097 2017-05-31T10:27:21Z Spotify 5045 2009-12-01T15:52:30Z http://spotify.com http://wakoopa.com/software/spotify http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/008/528/normal.png?1238582016 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/008/528/thumb.png?1238582016 65973 Spotify Ltd. http://wakoopa.com/developers/spotify-ltd Audio & Video players 25 Players http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/players mac win web Spotify is an online music service offering users the ability to stream music on demand using proprietary technology.

Does what it should do, tho not properly because of the lag. Auto importing of media would be nice, aswell as picture browsing (seeing as pics can be synced with devices) and the feature to sync pics from multiple locations Some features, like fetching album art for music your collection, requires you to register an account, credit card and all. Some say its possible without but if so, you tell me how! I cant friggin find it. Which brings me to the interface, which is decent enough, if you look past what i said in the last paragraph. You have small gems like the cover flow, which you can view full screen (tho with alot of album pics missing). Also with winamp esqué browsing of your collection: (genre) -> artist -> album -> songs. Performance, in short: BLOAT! One of the many reasons I switched to zune and the zune software. It took AGES to just sync something to my ipod. It would take time to open, then just show a black square, then clear up to reveal iTunes, then detect the ipod, then id wait for it to respond to me clicking and draging the song etc. Each and every step took its sweet ass time. even ejecting the ipod, both in itunes, and waiting for the ipod to get out of "do not disconnect" mode. Price/value: Its free.... dunno what to say really but the only value it has is cover flow, a music store, and (unfortunantly) the only ipod compatible software with proper podcast support. All other software ive tried have messed up in the podcast category. So with that said, ill conclude with: Oh god! Why can't the zune software have ipod support? (actually, nvm, fuck ipod users! I gots the zune now so...) 1210044753 2007-04-19T11:36:06Z 46 2018-10-24T11:08:52Z iTunes 29552 2009-12-03T02:42:03Z http://www.itunes.com http://wakoopa.com/software/itunes http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/142/838/normal.png?1252537197 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/142/838/thumb.png?1252537197 14397 Apple Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/apple-inc Manage your audio and video 26 Management http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video/management mac win iTunes is a digital media player application introduced by Apple in 2001 at Macworld Expo in San Francisco for playing and organizing digital music and video files.
