cruz browser

I have been using Cruz (a new web browser) for a day, and here are some of the things that it may have or may be missing that are popping into my head as I use it:

  • It doesn’t seem to use the Keychain for password storage. I had to retype my twitter.com credentials, it should have pulled them from keychain.
  • I’d love to have a stop/reload button instead of two separate ones.
  • There is no Import bookmarks feature, so you can’t easily transfer them from safari/firefox.
  • I love the thumbnails it adds to google search, but they load very slowly.
  • I wish it would open new tabs to the right of the current one, right next to it. This isn’t a feature in any other browser I know of, but you can do it in safari through saft and in firefox through tab mix plus.
  • It seems to read cookies from safari. I didn’t have to login to flickr, nice!.
  • The make text bigger feature is kind of a letdown coming from firefox and it’s kickass zoom feature (it zooms images too).
  • I want to double click on a dmg file in the downloads window and have it open the image file, like safari does.
  • It comes with Google Gears. This is great!
  • Full screen browsing is awesome (although it crashes when going into it if there’s browsa plugins open).
  • It seems like url history doesn’t work. I visit a URL, and when i type it in the address bar again, it doesn’t remember I’ve been there and won’t show it to me in the pop up.

Cruz browser

In general it feels really good. Having more than one site open takes some getting used to, but it works really well for reading feeds specially, it opens links on the main window, so I can keep scrolling down without worrying about switching no tabs.

The other noticeable feature in it is the CoverFlow view of links on a page (in the screenshot in the bottom center), which is cool but actually not that useful for me.

All in all, I really like it.
