As you might expect, I’ve downloaded and installed this brand new version of Chrome for Linux and I installed on my Ubuntu 64-bit laptop.

The truth is that it caused me a great impression, when I launched google-chrome command, the browser just appeared in a fraction of a second. I though Opera was quite amazing at rendering the browser, but now I think Chrome is even faster.

The next thing I tried is the typing test of ARTypist, and it worked amazingly well. I know it uses internally a lot of javascript, and it all works great.  Even the CSS displays properly well, and since several months ago I haven’t tried to run ARTypist on Chrome

Finally, after visiting another couple of web sites I realized flash worked as well without me having to install any plugin. I don’t know if it has detected the flash plugin was already installed (probably), but it’s great having it working on all pages. At the first sight, it seems the browser seems it’s working well

Right now I’m not planning to change Firefox by Chrome, but at least I can test my webs on Chrome without having to open a virtual machine with Windows.

According to the CSS3 spec, it should be enough to use the style “border-radius” to set the rounding, unfortunatelly, browsers do not support this style yet

On the other hand, a div with rounded corners could be easily specified for gecko and webkit, just by using “-moz-border-radius” for Firefox 2/3, and “-webkit-border-radius” for the latest (Safari).

After trying this on some browsers I’ve seen that Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Safari 3.1 and Chrome work as expected, while Opera and Internet Explorer (IE6/IE7) have no support for this (natively).

This block of text should appear inside a rounded corner box on Firefox, Safari or Chrome.
If you look at page contents, I haven’t used any javascript or any complex CSS, just:
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;

What I don’t like, is the fact that I haven’t found any way or non-standard attribute for doing this on IE.
Well, what do you think about the rounded corners?
