Advantages: Fast and tabs run seperately

Disadvantages: Still being developed, lacks features and some sites don't display properly

Google Crome is a new browser from Google. It is currently in beta stages so it is recommended to not use it a your main browser until a stable release has been released by the Google Developers as no only will it contain a few problems and errors it might also contain a few security problems which could put your computer at risk.

Personally after testing it out for an hour or so on sites that i visit a lot so i can easily compare it to Firefox which i usually use i realised that it was a bit faster although there was a few display errors on some sites which might be a problem with the browser or the code not being written to work in this browser.

At the moment as it is still in the early stages it is only compatible on Windows XP and Vista at the moment.

One major benefit that Google Crome has over all the other browsers around is that each tab in Crome will run separately so if one tab crashes it won't crash your whole browser like in other browsers. If one tab crashes just that tab will crash and all your other tabs will work fine and you don't have to restart your browser again.

Summary: It will good in a few months when it has been developed a bit more.
