Why I switched to Chrome

		November 29, 2008

	Why I switched to Chrome I didn't write the story, "Why I Switched from Firefox to Chrome", but I completely agree with it.

It's faster to start, faster to load pages, and has an interface that's faster to navigate. Read the story.  How widely used is Chrome? More than I expected  Google's new Chrome beta gets bookmark control Rafe Needleman Editor, Webware.com New on Webware.com Have it all: Lunascape, the browser with three engines Posted by Rafe Needleman A new browser, Lunascape, handles all three of the rendering engines (from Firefox, IE, and Chrome) at once.

It was no surprise that rumors started about a Facebook acquisition of Twitter. It was hardly a shocker when the rumors turned out to be true. But it's good that the talks fell apart.  Read more  Web apps for mobiles Opera Mini 4.2 beta now on Google Android Posted by Jessica Dolcourt Opera Mini 4.2 beta, a test version released for Java phones just two weeks ago, on Monday became the first third-party browser available for Google Android.  Read more  Program your DVR from the road with TiVo Mobile Posted by John P.
