The Challenge is recommending Chrome as the browser to use for the challenge. Their reasoning is that it has similar extension capabilities that Firefox has, but without the slow load time. I haven’t used Chrome much. In fact, outside of making sure my WordPress themes that I have designed (check out Juicy Themes) look ok in Chrome, I don’t use it at all. But, since the Challenge is having us use it, I’ll do it.
Even though it’s only been a few minutes since I started playing around with it, I will say that it does seem a lot faster than Firefox. Now that could be because I haven’t added much to it, and I have to Firefox. I also like that there aren’t a lot of toolbars and other silly things getting in my way – just simple icons for the extensions that The Challenge recommended we use.
I’ll save a final judgement on Chrome for after I’ve used it for awhile. But, my first impression is that I’m going to like it!
