Whether you use, like or even approve of Google’s new browser, Chrome, many others will. In fact there are predictions that Chrome may rival Firefox by the end of the end year when it comes to the number of users.

With that in mind, it may be a good time to test your websites to see how well they cope with this new browser. There have already been reports that some sites that rely on CSS have difficulty rendering on Chrome. This comes as a surprise given Google’s preference for CSS for web page formatting.

It is always a good idea to give your sites a periodical run through the various browsers to check for any compatibility issues. IE6 often runs in difficulties and many sites need tweaking to ensure they render correctly on that browser.

Google are heavily promoting their browser with many claims such as speed being pushed. If you have trouble with your web design under Chrome, I suggest you refer to your web designer to see if they have a fix suggestion.

Blogs are also reported to be having trouble with the CSS and Chrome’s ability to render some pages. Check your sites and tidy them up, before Chrome takes over.
