Introducing Google Chrome
Google, in it’s bid for complete world domination, has released their own web browser, Google Chrome.
You can get it here.
I’ve been using it this morning and so far, I have to say I really like it. It is fast - really, really fast! It has an extremely clean and uncluttered interface (like most of Google’s apps). There are, however, a couple of things to keep in mind if you want to try it.
Number one. It is Beta software. This means there may be bugs. Having said that, most of Google’s beta software is better than some companies’ release versions.
Number two. No adblocking/add-ons (yet). If you use Firefox and it’s add-ons (especially Adblock) you may miss the customizations that you may have running.
All in all, so far so good. With a tweak here and there this could become by primary web browser. For speed’s sake alone it will remain installed. It’s good and knowing Google, it will only get better.
