I’m posting this because I’ll probably forget by tomorrow, and it’s of earth-shattering importance like all my posts.

Forget pigs in lipstick and hurricanes and the tanking financial system. Google has released a sub-optimal browser. There is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

It’s not that Chrome doesn’t do what it needs to do. There’s a ton of functionality* in there. But just try finding it.

Yowza do these guys know how to bury good features. Like keywords for bookmarks, as discussed here.

I dig that we’re all sophisticated web users and stuff like that there and that you Gmen (and women) are all about elegant design. But why make it so you have to have a graduate degree to find a basic navigational feature?

Anyone? Google? Anyone?

 

 

*enough functionality that I switched my default browser choice to chrome from firefox. I did that a couple of hours before writing this post. Be warned though you California ggeeks, I’ve got a touch pad and I know how to use it!
