Halliburton Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:09:28 +0000 http://blog.ishback.com/?p=1062#comment-79975 I subscribed to your feed after seeing your tiny letterpress project a while back, and this post caught my attention because I'm always striving to find the most productive browser. Chrome is what I use now, on my phone and any computer I'm using. Initial reactions - I'm very intrigued by the minimal screen space taken up by the controls, I do agree that addressing where the controls fall for different sites will be key. Even just a drag & drop feature would be nice, also maybe a keystroke can hide the "permanent" controls. I think email and music are two great controls to have around all the time, but I think a widget-like set of options for those would be great. Here are just a few things I think I would miss about Chrome, and what might keep me from switching to a browser like this: - Mobile is key. Chrome's web and mobile platforms might be less than perfect, but I can access my data anywhere. If a page is too small to read on my phone or I'd like to perform more actions, I can open it straight in my web browser. My computer is flighty, so I use Chrome on other (some public) computers often, and I can login to see my bookmarks, extensions, etc. - Support for my most used extensions is crucial. I use Pocket, which is pretty standard, but I also use Gimmebar, which is less common. Both of these extensions could be incorporated into a system like this easliy, but I think planning for some way to support less-used apps is important. - There are also some extensions I use, like Feedly, that wouldn't incorporate. You can't view it as a web page, it's something you have to install. - You mention full-length URLs, and I agree that the address bar is mostly unnecessary, but here's the one case I can think of when I really use it. Say I've visited a specific post/page on a site, and want to go back to that post without either first visiting the site, then navigating to it, or googling the site name + post name to find it. The address bar is key in eliminating that extra step as I can start to type the site name, then scroll down to the specific post URL. Generally, I think the prototype looks great and would be incredibly useful as long as a lot of customization is possible and data is accessible on different devices. Great post, thanks for the food for thought. EM.
