My GOOGLE CHROME REVIEW from the perspetive of a Firefox "fanboy"
1.) Google Chrome installs itself into a directory that´s hidden by default in Windows XP.
That´s ..\documents and settings\USER\local settings\application data\Google\
2.) The first noticable thing it does during installation is to execute GoogleUpdate.exe
from ..\documents and settings\USER\local settings\application data\Google\Update
Google Chrome doesn´t inform about that and the options do not have a config button to unable the autostart update function.
3.) Language preference doesn´t work:
Though I had clicked to install the english language version, everything is in german language once the application is installed.
4.) Typing in the first URL techpowerup.com:
The techpowerup logo is covered by a huge third party ad in my regional language that I cannot kill:
5.) Without any limitations, every single (third party) cookie is allowed by default:
That´s even more unreasonable than the default settings of MS IE7.
6.) When I log into my TPU account, a questions appears about password storage.
There is no option to click "not this time" as in Firefox.
7.) Google chrome doesn´t come up with a custom plugin interface.
CONCLUSION:
Google, don´t you ever try to me again.
