Transition to Chrome
My transition from Firefox to Chrome is pretty much complete. The final piece fell into place when I discovered the function of the little blue button in Chrome’s lower left corner:
Clicking this button pops up a clickable list of open tabs with titles and URLs so that having lots of tabs open (my usual situation) is no hindrance to efficient navigation.
LastPass seems as though it can replace Roboform Pro if I can ever figure it out. I do miss Firefox’s search options: I had installed search engines for Yahoo, Bing, Google, Wikipedia, Netflix, IMDB, Amazon, Google Images, and others. With Chrome, you search through Google, period, although of the course you can go the individual sites and search from there, so it’s not a showstopper.
What hastened the transition (besides Firefox’s annoying pauses) was discovering this site, which lists Chrome extensions—easily added to Chrome. Once I had a few extensions to facilitate my workflow, the game was over.
