Where Chrome and Safari 4 Fail

A lot of buzz going around about the new release of Safari which I must say seems plenty fast. I think this is more due to the fact that it doesn’t wait to start rendering stuff. Loading facebook is fast, but loading images on facebook is still painfully slow.

Anyways, I enjoy using Chrome because it is a painless and lightweight alternative to IE, although it does crash every now and then just like every other browser. Where the two new browsers fail is in support for new Windows 7 features like the title bar drag. While you can drag a Safari browser around by the tabs (which is a dumb idea) if you drag to the top and maximize, you can’t drag out of the maximized size. The same goes for Chrome, however I must give Chrome some props because it doesn’t use the entire top bar for two tabs!

What would be nice if Safari (and IE!) adopted Chrome’s look but implemented title bar drag by allowing users to drag from the area to the left and right of the tabs. Or if they abandoned the approach altogether and came back to a uniform look and feel to software.

Oh and thanks Google and Apple for not even using Aero!
