The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg comments on Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) new Chrome browser after testing it for the past week:
Verdict: Chrome is a smart, innovative browser that, in many common scenarios, will make using the Web faster, easier and less frustrating. But this beta version is rough around the edges and lacks some common browser features Google plans to add later.
The new interface has bold changes from the standard browser design. These new features enhance the Web experience, but they will require some adjustment on the part of users.
Despite Google’s claims that Chrome is fast, Mossberg said it was notably slower in tests at the common task of launching Web pages than either Firefox or Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) Safari. However, it proved faster than the latest version of IE—also a beta version—called IE8.
