Google Chrome - why it can't be my default browser

Google is out with the new browser Google Chrome. The most important features, for me are - it has minimalistic interface and an run web applications in a window with no "chrome" at all.

Chrome is the lingo for the UI of the browser itself. IE and Firefox are crowded with menu items and toolbars. Each add-in you add, and some are very useful, so it is not dissing them in any way, crowds the chrome. Google Chrome kills all of the browser UI for web applications. I am writing this blog post in a window where only toolbar belongs to the browser. The rest is the webtop. So Google Chrome's name is kind of tongue in the cheek thing. Google Chrome is chrome-less.

Another good feature is speed, with Google V8 JavaScript engine is said to work very fast, faster then FF3.

What disappoints me? Two things. One is my Silverlight 2.0 applciation will not work in the current implementation of Chrome. And the other is my Roboform will not work with it. Roboform is the password manager. I routinely sign into 30 web sites/ web applications. I use Google's own Documents trying to move to Google "office" exclusively and do without Microsoft Office. To be able to sign in instantly is the key for that. Roboform allowed that. And Roboform does not work with Chrome yet.

There is an open source and free alternative to Roboform, called PassKey. I did not see reports it works with Chrome. If it does, I'll switch over from Roboform to PassKey instantly.

I could have asked Chrome to remember my passwords. I don't like it. I like to be in control, that is one. I want to carry my passwords around with me on the flashdrive that is another reason.
So, currently, I shall use Chrome to browse the net, and IE / FF to actually have my work done.
