Google Chrome – web browser

One would think that with all the browsers out there (think Firefox, IE, Flock, Opera, Netscape & Safari that there wouldn’t be room for another.  Now it’s time to rethink that point.

Google Chrome seems to be the latest and most up to date option around.  I’ve been a Firefox user for years (as soon as I could get away from IE that is) but I’m a mad Google fan so thought I’d give it a try.  I downloaded it here and tested it briefly this morning.

I’m impressed!

Safari has claimed to be the fastest loading browser since it was released… but I’ve never seen anything this fast.  But that’s not the best part.  The best part is that each tab loads separately from the others so if one site crashes… the tab dies (is ‘sad’) and you don’t lose what you were doing on the other tabs.

Rather than me explain how good it is… take a few minutes to read the Google comic about Chrome.  They’ve redefined the browser and made it work a stack better.  Here’s why they did it.

Google Chrome imported all my bookmarks and passwords seemlessly from Firefox 3, it’s easier to use, has a cleaner look and, as mentioned, loads faster than anything I’ve ever seen.  It doesn’t seem to autofil as much as Firefox 3 however.  I’ll post more in the comments section as I experience more with the software.

Try it out for yourself here!

  1. Chrome is ok but lacks a few Friefox add ons I can’t live without!

  2. That’s a good point sir. Chrome is built with help from Firefox’s source code and does have add ons. Which ones can’t you live without?

  3. Also, I can’t get Chrome to load the Movies app in Facebook properly nor can I rate movies in it.
    Still using it and finding it the fastest and smoothest browser ever. Loving it! And the default home tab is unbeatable!!!!

  1. No trackbacks yet.
