I have to say: I’ve loved Chrome<\/a> from the minute I started using it. \u00a0What do I like about it? \u00a0Mostly the speed. \u00a0Throughout the day, I have racing thoughts–things I want to look up, news I want to read, friends’ statuses I want to check. \u00a0Firefox was much too slow (even though I keep my plugins to a minimum), finally opening a browser window in 5-10 seconds. \u00a0Chrome on the other hand, happily gives me a window in half a second (maybe even less!).<\/p>\n

Since Chrome came out, I’ve changed my usage to about 90% Chrome. \u00a0I use Firefox every now and then for some occasional debugging. \u00a0And Safari sometimes when I want to register for free stuff online but have already used Chrome and Firefox and I’m too lazy to go locate and clear the cookie.<\/p>\n

With the somewhat recent advent of Adsweep<\/a>, there are only three features that are keeping Chrome from being my 100% perfect browser:<\/p>\n

Print Preview<\/strong>
\nI’m so cheap! \u00a0Even though my printer has automatic duplexing (that means it automatically prints to both sides of the paper), I like to make sure what I print is still in my budget. \u00a0I’ll even tweak the margins and zoom to make sure it’s cheap enough. \u00a0Give me Print Preview so I know what I’m getting!<\/p>\n

Smooth Scrolling<\/strong>
\nThis has irritated me ever since I made the move from Internet Explorer to Firefox back in 2006. \u00a0It hurts my eyes–I do tons of scrolling and it’d be a lot nicer to have the pages gently gliding across my screen rather than jumping a line at a time.<\/p>\n

Right-click Properties<\/strong>
\nA lot of times I’ll see a graphic and think “I wonder what they named that” or “I wonder if there’s more where that came from”. \u00a0In Firefox or IE, I would just right-click on the element and then “properties”. \u00a0Bam! \u00a0I would see what the file is named and the dimensions. \u00a0Having this feature would be pretty useful on websites that don’t include a caption or don’t tell where the photo was taken.<\/p>\n

So if any Chromium developers are reading this: please develop these features!! \u00a0Then my life will be complete!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
