Google Chrome : A Review




Google is coming into the market to compete with a giant like Microsoft. So a few weeks ago they launched a web browser called GOOGLE CHROME. The most surprising thing is that they launched this only for Win XP/ Vista only. Well launching a browser that would only work in the competitors' operating system? Intersting....but if you see from their point of view, it is the most widely used operating system!!

So I would think, what is so special about this browser? This would offer the same or similar facilities and options that IE, firefox, safari, opera, netscape would...with a few modifications...

But this was the google product I couldnt digest....

No real surprises or major advantages over any other browser. My personal favorite is Firefox and that would remain same.

Now google claims that it has taken care of the existing problems of the current widely used internet browsers but I do not believe so.

I would say a couple of new things but that is it.

They claim that the chrome is a lighter application than other browsers and a single instance is standalone and doesnt hurt other instances. Well upon my use of a few weeks...it didnt really matter to me. If you have like 5-6 chrome windows open and is open till long time...so when u try to switch it back, it just takes a lot of time to get back.

Other thing that is something new is that any tab you can drag it and make it a new window, this sounds useful sometimes.

Do let me know if in case somebody found a very good advantage of chrome over other browsers..

Google claims chrome to be very fast but I personally didnt find the feature to be effective.

Finally I am not pleased with this new browser, claims to be light but I personally didnt find it light, no good looks, and that makes me think ....

Why should I switch to this browser when almost all things are better with my favorite browser?

Hope google could read this and tell me what to look for in chrome...

Adios Amigos...Njoy life to the fullest..
