Now, some of you may or may not know about Googles web browser, Chrome. It is already a few years old now, but I still see many people relying on either Internet Explorer (IE) or Mozilla Firefox to browse the web. Whether it be that people are just stuck in their ways and are just used to using those browsers, or if people are apprehensive about switching, let me try and ease your fears.
I made the switch to Chrome soon after it came out, and let me tell you, I have not been disappointed. Google takes its browser to the next level when it comes to ease of use, simplicity, and flexibility. The layout of the browser itself, at first, is a little strange; there is no menu bar running along the top of the application (ie, no File, Edit, View, options). However, this does not take away from the features of this app. Recent benchmark tests show that Chrome is the fastest browser available, allowing the computer to run more smoothly while you browse the web.
There are many different built in features that contribute to this. One of the features is that each individual tab runs under its own process. Now, this may sound like it causes extra memory to be used on the computer. However, this is a built in saftey feature that, should one of the tabs malfunction and crash, the entire browser (and all your other open tabs) doesnt crash along with it, which frequently happens with Firefox. Another great feature is the ability to maneuver tabs to any position inside the existing browser window while also being able to drag the tab out of its position and open an entirely new window.
Now, some of you may now be interested in switching, but are fearful of losing your bookmarks or favorites. Not to worry, as during the installation of Chrome, you can choose to import your bookmarks from both Firefox and IE right into Chrome so that your new browser will be ready for use right outta the box.
