ChemSpider Blog

Last night I was talking about the potential distractions of Google Chrome and tonight I have been using it for four hours and am very impressed. My experience is faster loading, simple navigation, love the most-used page views on the startup tab. Focusing my efforts on ChemSpider page loading is MUCH faster for “heavy pages” and I have seen no issues at all except with the applets. The structure drawing applet and the spectral display applets both fail to load. Based on an internet search this appears to be a common problem but some people seem to have it solved. I have tried the reported approach and failed but I have a feeling that in the next couple of days there will be other reported solutions. Overall I am impressed with Google Chrome and, when Java Apps are supported (or I can get them working) I think this might just be the next favored broswer…but I will be downloading IE 8.0 beta shortly to play with too…
