Hurray!!! Chrome is supporting JRE6

I managed to find out that Chrome browser supports JAVA platform. It is essential however to install the JRE6 for this to work. The browser doesn't seem to recognize other JRE versions. Anyways for now the JAVA support problem seems to be non-existent. If the API-extension is also introduced into Chrome then this can really give a tough competition to Firefox and IE.

Chrome - A huge let down

I was one of the people who were eagerly waiting for the much talked about browser from Google - Chrome. The chrome web browser was a huge let down. This was not the browser that i was expecting from Google. Though it is a beta version, it is far from anything close to Firefox or Opera. The only good thing is the incognito operation which allows not to maintain the history and block cookie entries. The overall look of the browser was average.

The file downloads are much similar to Firefox, except for the graphical version attached to indicate the beginning of the download. out of the box flash player support is a good feature.

Linux and MAC users need to wait a bit longer before they can lay their hands on this. The features of the browser is not known fully. But they have made it open source thereby introducing the possibility of creating custom codes to suit the needs of the person. personally, i have never attempted to create a custom tool for browser even though Firefox is an open source tool. Hope this time around i would try to make some contributions to the Google's new browser. It is always great to create something new
