Pocket Lint: Google Chrome Review

Pocket Lint writes: "he battle of the browsers rolls on, now with Google entering the fray with their Chrome browser. Becoming public on Tuesday, we got our hands on it to put it through its paces. Knowing Google, the "beta" tag will probably remain for the life of the product. So how does it fare in these early stages?

We've become accustomed to Google appearing with software solutions and are big fans of their Google Apps. It makes sense that the company with possibly the biggest name on the Internet has its own browser. A quick download and install, Chrome offers to import your bookmarks as you'd expect. It also pulls across your history, something that Google has always been pretty keen on."

The good:

+Clean design
+Eliminates top window bar
+Dynamic homepage
+Incognito option
+Separate tabs
+Download history
+Spell check

The bad:

-Some teething issues
-Flash appeared slow
-Difficult to highlight text
-Can't drag and drop text
-Back button problems
-No Java support
