First look at Student Loan Network sites in Google Chrome
Google’s new web browser, Chrome, came out today at 3 PM. Here’s how the site renders…
Looking good!
Let’s see what Student Loan Network sites you can find using common student loan terms.
Parent PLUS loans:
Stafford loans:
Student loan consolidation:
Not bad - a few of our other services aren’t the Chrome-recommended choice, but glad to see a good number of our sites as recommended choices in Google’s new Chrome browser.
Other first impressions - this thing is FAST. Very snappy, much faster than Firefox or IE in my Windows XP installation. I got a kick out of the titles in the preferences:
It’s a great metaphor that gives a clear mental image of what’s about to open up.
Other neat things - it comes with Google Gears pre-installed, but Google didn’t auto-approve their own sites, which is nice. It also doesn’t come with Flash built in, but it does download the plugin and install it without a browser restart, which is also nice.
This I thought was kind of weird:
You can report to Google broken web pages. I wonder - if enough people report, does Chrome ignore the site? Change its recommendations? Inquiring minds want to know.
Other fun stuff - check out the stats!
And finally this interesting tidbit - Google Chrome can create applications on your desktop of web apps, making them function like regular programs on your computer.
Kudos to Google for this release.

should be interesting to see if Chrome works more efficiently than FireFox and IE… if it’s faster than Firefox, since isn’t IE, then i’ll use it
