Google’s new browser Chrome was released today and while I haven’t had a great deal of time to put it through it’s paces I have certainly found it fast and like some of it’s features.

While traditional applications still exist there are an ever increasing number of web applications available.

Google Chrome provides a nice feature to allow you to Create application shortcuts…

This allows you to browse to a web application – take Xero for example – and have a short cut produced for your Desktop, Quick Launch Bar or Start menu.

Once the short-cut has been created you now simply click it to launch the application in a browser window without all the browser interface (address bar, bookmarks etc)

All good!

    Hi Campbell, Have you tried the Opera browser. I spend most of my time using online apps and I’ve noticed that IE and even Firefox use huge amounts of resource on my PC. Opera is very fast and has a nice speed dial feature. Some sites aren’t 100% compatible but I understand that on the security side it rates extremely well.

    I have looked at Chrome but really waiting for it to go through some more versions before I look more at it.
