The lastest review i’ve done to date: this will be published into a video for youtube.

In the meantime the script for the video is here.

Well Hello to the community of youtube. My name is ghofer, I am a pc technician here in California. I use computers I own 3 pcs and one mac. I am telling you here today please leave all negative comments at the door if you have a comment on how this review could be made better then by all means leave a comment. Any destructive comments will  be removed. My goal here today is for my first video doing a review of google’s newest browser Google Chrome. Now this is an unbiased review I will be providing.

As you can see here google chrome has this very sleek interface. First thing I’d like you to notice is when you begin typing in the address bar on google chrome it begins to do a search on google. So for example I type in hotels in southern California it begins to look it up for me. Then at this point I can simply click on the link to the website and there we go. Google chrome also has this feature as well as Mozilla firefox. Also I might point out the tab feature as in firefox is in the title bar of the program instead.

One of the more significant features is what I’ve heard referred to many as the porno mode of web browsing. It is referred to by google as incognito mode. You can access that by simply clicking on the what looks like a page image at the right hand side of the window.  Also I might want to add google has put into this browser a bunch of shortcut keys in which the link will be provided in the comments window.

Now if you are a web developer or a web programmer this will provide a useful feature for you. Google chrome actually has a built in javascript debugger program. Simply click on the page icon and scroll down to the bottom until you see developer. There you have a task manager and a javascript debugger so you can actually see what is causing a page not to load the particular line of code that contained the problem.

Now if we go and download a file you will notice that the files now appear in the bottom of the screen in which you can easily click on them and review what your downloading.

I will now demonstrate google chrome playing a youtube video and a couple of other flash games. Here you can see the functionality of google with these extra plugins.

A few problems I’ve been experiencing are on certain videos on youtube I will fast forward through the videos and the flash plugin for google chrome will suddenly freeze. In my opinion it is a good browser I would wait though a while until google chrome comes out of the beta stage.
