Advantages: easy to install, fast to use, not full of complicated stuff initially

Disadvantages: none

Google seem to get a lot of stick but the fact is that they are still the no.1 search engine out there, I make a bit of dough off adsense, I use gmail for my e-mails as I think it's by far the quickest, simplest service and I now use Google Chrome to browse the net.

I haven't used IE for ages and if I do, it's only to switch it from "work offline" to re-enable MSN Messenger, it's an old fashioned and tacky browser that is slow and inadequate. Firefox was my poison of choice and I've got on with it well over the years, I don't like faffing around with my browser though and whilst I know it's easy enough to get rid of some of the various bars, I don't like the fact that it throws that stuff in your face from the start.

Google Chrome does quite the opposite, I downloaded iit quickly and saw exactly what I wanted - a very stripped down browser with a nice layout, all that was there was the address bar and whilst I'm aware that it too has a wide-range of settings which can be great use to the browse, it's the basicness of the first sight which pleases me. Google Chrome also loads up insanely quickly and it is easy to transfer all your favourite information such as bookmarks over from another browser. I haven't used it over a really long period of time, so I couldn't comment on it's long-term reliability but every other aspect gets the thumbs up - the most important being the speed. My internet connection is pretty dodgy and the faster a program loads a page, the more points it gets with me! The interface is user friendly too.

Summary: excellent little browser
