hey what's up guys John rettinger here and I want to give you a demonstration of Google's Chrome browser for mac people that have pcs love chrome they rave about how quick it is ease of use and I certainly agree I've used it quite a bit on a pcs and I'm a big fan and finally it is coming for Mac I should say that this is not an official beta or release candidate this was just a build that was seated only to developers it is not feature complete and is a little bit buggy and quirky which is why this isn't a review just an overview this more shows a working proof of concept of Google Chrome so let's go ahead and jump right in and those you that are familiar with Google Chrome will notice that it gives you your most watched tabs right across the top so let's go ahead and see how quickly it loads a web page let's go to my youtube channel for example see it loads up nice and quickly but no flash unfortunately as I'll show you in a minute this version of Chrome has a very hard time handling downloads and certainly can't recognize flash quite yet but you did see that a loaded very quickly let me open up Firefox my primary browser give you some comparison so placing the same website you can see it loaded turn that down bus leave it a little bit slower but just as fast chrome is quite quick if you go to a site one of my favorites hulu com take a clip the tility that flash player is required please continue so I'm going pretend if you want to download this and will agree and install and it chokes on download it for download and start click here you can click here it just won't download it's apparently not feature complete yet obviously just wanted to show you guys that if you do plan on finding a virgin chrome out there that's in I suppose developer alpha it's not going to be good enough to use as your primary browser just a friendly heads-up so you've got your tab browsers on top the things people are used to with chrome Pope as many as you like and this pretty quickly bit of animation that shows up there so let me show you some of the chrome preferences that you'll get when this browser comes out we'll go to Chrome open up preferences and here we go it's relatively simple as chrome is known to be so on startup you can open the homepage restore the pages that are open last open the following pages you can use the tab page open this page control your toolbar so sure the home button on the toolbar will add that and show page an option menu on the toolbar go ahead and add that too and you can go ahead and make chrome your default browser not quite ready to do that yet use your data cache give out your passwords autofill you can import bookmarks clear your data you can even choose themed I'm not tell you sure what this does yet so right now it's the blue we can go ahead and pick different colors let's pick red and see if that doesn't it and under the hood there's nothing there yet so we'll close out nothing really changed color wise so great but I assume you'll be able to pick custom theme and put it right into chrome and I do have google search right on your homepage so we do have to go ahead and actually close the browser and open it back up and see if any of the preferences that we put in place are there so we wanted to put the home button on the taskbar get it didn't show up so there are a lot of quirks with this browser but i just wanted to show you guys let you know that if you are a fan of chrome or if you mean jealous a your friends chrome on their pc it is coming to your mac and this is one of those things that i'm very happy to see when i first switched over to mac about two and a half years ago i was worried that maybe there wasn't going to be all the software that i wanted on math that's a very common misconception that goes about there and i can very happily say that any software you want format there is or want for pc rather there is a mac equivalent and it just nice to know that chrome is another instance of that coming for mac hey guys hope you enjoyed for exclusive content be sure to follow me on twitter twitter com / John for lakers i'll see you guys in next video bye bye you
