Love Chrome, But Won’t Change Yet

September 3rd, 2008  Posted at   Thinking

I love the speed of Google’s new browser, Chrome and I really love the home page with links to my most-browsed pages. Other yummy parts of Chrome include the simple interface with no “junk” toolbars and the drag ‘n drop thing for the tabs to open a new browser. Very cool However, I’m not ready to abandon Firefox yet.

First of all, I have Firefox configured with shortcuts. All I have to do is type “i” for my Google inbox, “c” for my calendar, “r” for Reader, “ff” for Friendfeed…you get the picture. Additionally, I can prefix a search term with “g” (for google), “w” (for wikipedia), etc and do a super quick search. This is such a habit with me and so darn simple I can’t give it up.

Firebug is a MUST for me, as is the Web Developer plugin. I can’t work without them. Less important is ScribeFire, but it is so darn useful.

So, the obvious solution is combine the two – and maybe Chrome will go there – but until they do, I’m sticking with Firefox.
