As a Mac quack and visual comm professional, I browsed mostly with Safari and Firefox for a few years. I've tried Opera and BlueDolphin (or whatever it was called on the Android OS), but Chrome won me over this year with its speed, privacy, task manager, and especially its address bar as a Google search box. Task icons on the address bar make accessing your personal apps so fast, that you can customize and minimize clicks, which is every graphic designer's dream. Chrome still needs more apps and optional extensions, which I'm sure will improve over time, but adding and removing extensions is so easy. Pretty much anyone would benefit from switching to Chrome. People, you need to get off IE already (re: http://www.favbrowser.com/november-2011-google-chrome-share-up-internet-explorer-firefox-safari-opera-down/). Someone please tell me if they disagree.
The DesignerI am Donya -- my friends call me "d." I'm 30 years old, and from the suburbs of Southern California. I used to want an office on the 42nd floor somewhere in Midtown East. After graduating and working at three multi-national corporations, I got laid off in 2008 like everyone else did. I then started d*Sine Lab as my freelance alter ego. It's has been an eye-opening four years for me, including having two kids and moving from California to North Carolina...far, far away from NYC.
