Chrome

Posted on by

I started using chrome as my main browser. What was holding me back was that the webkit developer tools for a long time just weren’t as good as Firebug. Now they are almost on a par. So I’ve been using Chrome as my main web browser for coming up to two months now and for the most part it has been a fantastic experience. Chrome is just lightning fast, from startup to rendering to javascript performance. I don’t have any benchmarks, but everything just feels really "light".

This could be because I’m coming from Firefox with three plugins installed: Firebug, Web Developer Toolbar and Adblock Plus…but I get the feeling that if I disabled the Web Developer Toolbar and Adblock Plus, Firefox still wouldn’t feel as light. Anyway, this isn’t why I started the blog post. I really wanted to vent a couple of frustrations I have with the browser. Seemingly minor frustrations that could probably be fixed really easily. Here they are:

  1. I can’t change the default font or page background colour or if I can, I can’t find where I do it. I change the default font and background colour from black to dark red and from white to grey respectively so that when I build websites I remember to set a default font and background colour in my reset
  2. It is really hard to save a 1×1 pixel image from a website to my desktop. I have to pinpoint the exact pixel on the screen and right click on it. I haven’t figured out an easier way of doing this…if there even is one
  3. When saving an image using the network tab of the developer tools the filename becomes "download" and _not_ the filename of the image I am saving
  4. Lastly, no out-of-the-box RSS support. I really miss it, and I love Firefox’s implementation of it in the bookmarks bar. N.B. I realise there is a plugin.

  49. Imala sam velika očekivanja od Oljke

    Kada sam se prijavila za program personalne trenerke Oljke, bila sam
    oduševljena njenim samopouzdanjem i energijom koju je pokazivala
    na
    društvenim mrežama. Delovalo je kao da tačno zna
    šta radi i da iza nje
    stoji veliko iskustvo.

    Međutim, nakon uplate sam shvatila da je program prilično osnovan. Plan
    ishrane je bio veoma opšti, bez prilagođavanja mojim potrebama.

    program je izgledao kao nešto što se može pronaći besplatno na
    internetu.

    Očekivala sam individualni pristup, ali sam imala osećaj da sam dobila
    unapred pripremljen šablon.
