Advantages: Incognito mode, no loss of data anymore

Disadvantages: Not compatible with a lot of webistes

Google Chrome is the newest addition of choice to how you browse the internet.

Google claim to have started from scratch again when it comes to 'how you browse the internet', but for once, I was actually disappointed with Google.

In my eyes, they could do no wrong, gmail was fantastic, the search engine is market leading but this Google Chrome feels very rushed and isn't compatible with a lot of websites still!

It's no doubt it was released early in order to 'get in there first' to the new internet explorer 8.0, however, considering the compatibility issues, I have ended up using firefox 3.0 instead.

It does have it's advantages and the goggle website has a great list of these which can be found here: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en-GB/features.h tml

One example is that if a window freezes, only that tab will feeze! You won't need to close the whole window anymore!

Overall it was a great idea, and with what goggle have achieved so far, I would be surprised not to see this improving and becoming everyone's no1 explorer.

Summary: It's OK, something to keep an eye out for in the future at least

Yeah, I love Google, I love how they stick two fingers up to the world to be quite honest.

Finger s crossed this is something special again, the docs were fantastic!

I think chrome has the potential to be a great browser but I too was disappointed that compatibility issues were so common. I guess that it will take a while though as websites are built with common browsers in mind and, as yet, Chrome is only at beta testing stage. Let's see where they go next!
