First looks – it’s bare. That’s not a complaint though. I suspect I’m like many folks, and have numerous add-ins installed in FF3. I’ve also got a copy of Flock, which is great for some Social Media site integration, but even noisier visually.
This makes a refreshing change to have such a wide open empty screen, and is going to take a little gettting used to.
I do miss the cool looking Gmail Redesigned screen, and I really want my Remember the Milk integration back in my Gmail too, but hey, the bottom line is functionality, and speed.
Where’s the google search box? You don’t need one, you simply type into the main address one.
Drag a tab off the top, and you can open a new, separate window.
I’ve not set Chrome as my default browser yet, but I’m certainly going to stick with it at the moment, and give it a run for it’s money. Money? Oh that was metaphorically speaking, as it’s free of course!

Wouldn’t it be nice if things trickled along at a nice regular pace? It seldom does though. Right now the days are getting longer, but not as long as my Remember The Milk list.
Remember The Milk is a great tool that interfaces nicely with Gmail, and Google Calender.
If you install Google Gears into Firefox, and also the Remember The Milk plug-in then you can see your email and your tasks at the same time, and by simply marking your emails, you can flag them as tasks. If you share Remember The Milk tasks with other contacts, the updating process is dynamic, meaning that if you or they update the task, it’s reflected everywhere automatically. No need to email updates! The great thing about this system is, unlike a computer-based system such as Thunderbird/Sunbird or MS Outlook, you can access your tasks, calendar and email at any internet connected computer, and as mentioned above, you can also use it on a laptop for example that is temporariliy not online simply by installing the free Google Gears.
