CHROME : Google's New Browser

Google Chrome has launched a new browser that is going to give tough competition to other browsers like Microsoft's Internet explorer , Mozilla Firefox , Opera , Safari and other browsers . This is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Chrome is a open source browser which is going to over take all other browsers in no time . Chrome's browser window is streamlined , simple and too fast .Chrome is able to prevent one tab from crashing another tabs in the same window . It also provides improved protection from rogue sites. Google Chrome team also came up with a V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.


Google Chrome contains many features that can be leveraged by webmasters to deliver a better end-user experience. Well this is just the beginning - Google Chrome is far from done , its still under BETA version. This beta version for Windows takes inputs and feedbacks from the user and comes up with new and improved version with each passing day .Google Chrome is working on building versions for Mac and Linux too, and they are expected to be even faster and more robust.


After knowing so much about Google's past track record and feedback from other chrome users , I decided to give it a try .Installation was simple and faster , in no time Googles Chrome was ready to be used. It has a clear and USER FRIENDLY interface with absence of cluttered buttons and bars on the top, thereby reducing the scrolling task.Other feature that fascinated me was home screen which itelligently stores most frequently visited websites and those sites open up just on a click. Most great news is its safe , secure and adware , malware free .

Well after using it for almost a week now , i would rate it as the best browser among all other browsers.

So go ahead and download you copy of GOOGLE'S CHROME browser.
