For being such a young browser and to be forced in the competition so quickly, Chrome as done well to hold it’s ground, it’s also collected a fan club of it’s own.

The browser did very well in security tests and continues to impress in the speed arena; making the Internet faster. But one of the things holding back Chrome has been extensions; something Firefox made an Internet browser standard.

But Mozilla didn’t refine the extension process. Their interface is still clunky, but Google made it better in Chrome.

November was a big month in the terms of traffic. It was a disappointing month in terms of performance of adverts.

I can’t say that I was too happy with the advert providers and it may not be their fault, but when you look at the traffic being up and adverts performance being lower that the last 2 months…

One of the first things your going to need with Ubuntu 9.10 is FLASH player. I’m still not real happy with Ubuntu and Adobe on this mess; it’s just stupid.

While the Ubuntu forums are swarmed with them… this is what I did, it worked and it was painless in comparison to going to Adobe’s website to install the latest .DEB.

I’m not messing with an Operating System that’s got such an issue with getting a browser to work. Ubuntu us a great Operating System, but damn, it’s not supported enough.

I give props to all the people that are really pushing it and I’d love to step away from Microsoft Windows, but the fact is that Windows is supported in one form or another, this version or that and has greater support for a myriad of hardware.

My example, Ubuntu is making great strides and infiltrating portable Internet devices, but it’s almost like it’s too specific. People can’t deal with it’s complexities, nuances and command line requirements; the average user is not jumping through hoops to install FLASH. They want to click and install it…
