You forgot speed - both when launching the app and general responsiveness. Launching chrome was shockingly fast - clicking the launcher and having the browser chrome show immediately without the crutch of a loading window was downright revolutionary. Once loaded, Chrome was really snappy (e.g. switching between tabs).
- agumonkey 6y agoyes indeed, it's so ingrained that I forgot. And to this day, chromium/chrome is still the fastest (even though it got bloated in other places).. I hate to admit it for I wish firefox could get up to par but everytime I use chrome I sense it; and it was shocking at the time. Also the update release pace, for better or worse, was also a new kind of fast.
- mohanmcgeek 6y agoYes. There would be a chrome process always running in the background, visible in your taskbar on the right. Chrome had a lot of smart people put in a lot of thought into it. It was a sea of difference when it came out. Not to mention their original Chrome OS pitch was also amazing. I really wish we had THAT Google now.
