Google Chrome
3 09 2008Like I’ve always said before, Google is taking over the world.
They’re the leading public corporation in Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing. They also have plenty of other products (FREE!) which you can hardly imagine and they are highly top-notch. A good place to see what Google has to offer is here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/
Google is always evolving and thinking ahead, no question about it. And just 6 hours ago I believe, Google released a beta version of their own web browser - Google Chrome. Heh, and you thought Mozilla is all you need.
Well well… it boasts quite a bit of features like speed surfing, dynamic tabs, incognito mode, crash control and safe browsing. Check out their list here: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/features.html
I’m still testing it and surfing does seem faster. Some say it’s like the transition from dial-up to broadband, though that may be somewhat exaggerated. But I do like their simple, clean sleek interface. More importantly for me, firing up the program is hella fast - just like any other Google applications. I’m sure more features are to come for this browser so I’ll be using and testing it more. Does that mean bye-bye to our old friend FireFox? No, I don’t think so. Not with all the plugins and what addons for FireFox that fans love.
The downside of this again everything Google. What will happen to our lives if everything we see everywhere is Google. ::rofl:: And to use their browser, that means our privacy and surfing habits will be captured by them. ie. Google Chrome –> Google.com. That’s your risk to take if you use Google Chrome. But the browser is also completely open-source, so by all means please verify for yourself or modify the browser however you want if you don’t like what Google Chrome does…
