Google Chrome Bookmarks

Well it has been nearly a month since installing Google Chrome, and I have to say I am really impressed by it. So much so, that it has become my browser of choice! Having looked through a number of browser stats of late, it would also appear to be the browser of choice for many people.

One of the things I most like about Google Chrome is the simple nature of the toolbar; although I do find this slightly ironic considering the amount of clutter installed with the Google toolbar on IE and Firefox. Tabs are simple and easy to find and use (unlike Firefox / Safari) and bookmarking / categorisation is really manageable (unlike IE). Bookmarking, adding bookmarks to categories and adding them to the simple toolbar (maybe I really do like clutter) is really easy.
 

• Visit a website
• Click on the ’star’ to the left of the web address bar and choose the folder that you would like the bookmark to appear under

Google Chrome

A while ago, there was a rumour that Google was working on a new browser. On arriving in the office this morning I find out that Google Chrome is due to launch today, this moring all I could find was the ‘comic book’ talking Google Chrome up and highlighting the features it will have.

Well now it’s landed. installation was a dream, nice and easy. Some websites / applications appear to struggle (hotmail / popfly), but considering it is a first outing, it is working really rather well. It is clean, fast and tabs are easy to find and ad, bookmarking is simple to edit and use and so far it I am happily using it - even being able to write this post from it.

Google updates its index at the speed of light…

Well almost… but wow… is it me or has Google come leaps and bounds in the past 12-18 months. After the floatation I wondered where they would go next, and whether they would be distracted from the primary task ‘indexing the worlds content’. Clearly not… they are pushing the game further and further.

Having done some bed time reading of Matt Cutts blog last month I was pretty impressed with the article about Minty Fresh Indexing… but being slightly skeptical of the improved indexing performance, I thought I would wait and try it out for myself… well today I had my chance… through adding the article below…

and what do you know… as Matt’s article described it has been indexed with a little note showing ‘1 hour ago’… Google really is indexing at some speed… Microsoft, Yahoo, Ask and the also rans really need to be careful otherwise they will be left behind in comet debris…
