Just a few minutes ago I downloaded the google chrome browser. Seems to be good and fast and it smartly got all my settings from IE. Has a few interesting features and I am writing this blog post using google chrome itself. One of the major drawbacks that I have noticed is it has NO GOOGLE TOOLBAR ADD ON. I was really surprised to figure out that I was not missing something.. but google has actually not provided google tool bar add on for their own browser. I am sure they must be working on something to provide this feature. I did notice that the good features like the search box has been provided in the “http” box itself where google chrome encourages you to “type to search” and makes life simpler. But I miss the google page rank, autofill to begin with and I am yet to explore other features. The book mark feature seems to be working fine. A new feature of the new incognito window is a smart idea and will be very useful and will help anyone who is using public terminals for browsing. But this may be harmful for corporates.

This is what google chrome has to say about incognito window

Pages you view in this window won’t appear in your browser history or search history, and they won’t leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved.

And one of the most surprising aspect for google chrome is that it does not have a version for linux and Mac when it was launched.
