Google Chrome

Just a note for my students and anybody else out there that is following along. These are not new issues with Chrome but if you are like me you have resisted downloading Chrome until only recently.

Nobody tells you when you start using Chrome that it is not full featured. That is the reason it seems so much faster than Internet Explorer and even Firefox. So what does that mean to someone using it to view web pages? Some of the features built into web pages may not show up for you. To fix this you need to go to the Chrome plugins page and download the features you need.

From a web site creator it means you probably need to put notifications on your web sites telling folks that use Chrome to download the plugin necessary to see all of the cool stuff you have created for the viewer.

My most recent brush with Chrome involves RSS feeds, on of the potentially most useful tools to web site management. The fix for this one can be reached at this address:

Personnally, I think it was all just easier when Microsoft controlled 95% of everything!
