Finally Google Chrome for Mac & Linux!!!

December 9th, 2009

Google released its Chrome Browser for Mac and Linux yesterday… Chrome for Mac/Linux beta doesn’t have all of the features available to Chrome on Windows, and if you’ve been using the dev builds of Chrome before this, you probably won’t notice any significant changes.

Got a chance to play around with it on Ubuntu yesterday night… It is not as noticeably faster than Firefox…. But it is significantly better at managing large amounts (20+) of tabs than Firefox.. Chrome is the first mainstream Webkit Browser for Linux.  Most people won’t have used Konqueror as Firefox is the most popular browser on Linux. Overall, it is a great foundation for an excellent browser future.  It is in my top 3 with Safari and Firefox.

Chrome for Mac/Linux beta is a free download, works with Intel Macs running Leopard or Snow Leopard or Linux PCs.

Google to make internet faster with SPDY!!!

November 17th, 2009

SPDY from GoogleTo us Loading pages from the Internet into browsers or accessing your favorite applications may seem pretty fast now, but the folks at Google think it could be a lot faster. Designed specifically for minimizing latency, the new SPDY protocol from Google’s Chromium development team currently undergoing testing is proving to be an awful lot faster than more familiar HTTP and will shortly break out of the lab and head for the real-world.
