After a blog sabbatical I’m back to talk about stuff you may or may not be interested in 
I downloaded and tested Chrome like half the people in the developer world (maybe a little bit more) and here are my considerations:
- Chrome did crash 8 times under Vista while browsing both flash and non-flash sites
- Chrome was slow as hell running javascript intensive sites
- Chrome was logging every letter I typed in (I then disabled the feature but still….)
- Chrome had flaws in CSS rendering on a couple of sites with certified CSS
In a nutshell that’s my overall impression on Chrome! Needless to say I uninstalled it already!
I’ll give it another try when another version comes out.

Internet Explorer 8, known for being a landmark at Microsoft for respecting web standards compatibility, has entered beta 1 availability. I’ve done some tests already and there are still some bugs around, namely in the DIV rendering, specially handling overflow and floats. But still, it’s a great improvement over IE7. Speaking of it, if you really really miss IE7 there’s even a “Emulate IE7″ mode so you can go back to standards incompatibility Final release is scheduled to be available during summer.
