It doesn't follow all the requirements for a web browser (by the way who defines them?) and that's why just not every webpage works in Chrome. Which is pretty painful when we talk about web browser, isn't it?<br /><br />Another thing I don't agree with is Google trying to invent something new with Chrome. They don't. All they do is really redoing the old concept. Add-ons are soon to come I believe. Menus, as well as general look is just a GUI design, nothing more. The real goal was to make light and fast browser and to be honest I think Google still haven't achieved the goal. Chrome isn't light. It's as resource consuming as other browsers. Maybe it is a bit faster, but the difference isn't so significant to be seen in everyday use.<br /><br />The last thing: if any other company came with a product like Chrome it wouldn't get one tenth of Chrome user base. The magic of word Google works. Actually there are rules and Chrome is a good example of that.

I think a good example is Google Chrome. This application doesn't follow all the requirements of a web browser. Google decided to invent a new tool to browse the web, period. The menus are different, there are no add-ons, no this, no that. Google didn't follow the rules and so far, Chrome is doing great. In my opinion, there are no rules in software development.
