Advantages: Much faster than its competitors, simple design and uses little resources.

Disadvantages: Add ons are tricky to install likewise themes are too.

Google Chrome is a relatively new web browser which has taken the internet by storm. It has a very simple design utilising the whole screen unlike IE and Firefox which often get clogged with extra toolbars from different websites.

Reliability: Iv been using it for around 6 months and rarely get errors however, there have been occasions where it freezes and needs to restart or java encounters an error.

Ease of Use: It is very easy to use with an option to have a screen very much like Opera (web browser) which can hold recently visited sites and bookmarked sites for easy access. It uses tabs like many browsers do these days which open quickly and are easy to navigate.

Installation: I encountered no problems with installation and it was relatively easy and quick to install.

Speed: By far Google Chrome starts up much faster than Firefox and IE and due to its simplistic design uses up to half the memory of Firefox on my desktop PC.

Variety of Features: This is Chrome's downside where add ons and features are very hard to install and likewise themes are difficult to install. Hopefully in the near future Google will make this a lot easier like that of Firefox however, Google Chrome is built for speed and these add ons and themes will no doubt begin to slow it down.

Overall I really recommend this web browser for everyday use and just bear in mind it was created by Google, the creators of the worlds most popular search engine and Youtube, the most popular video website.

Thank You For Reading.

Summary: An up and coming browser taking the market by storm.

I use this one. I love the speed and also the fact that there aren't too many toolbars etc, so you get more usable screen.

I love Google Chrome. I like the way it always remembers the websites I use the most and gives me a top 9 list so I can just click on the one I want. It means I don't have to type things out fully either which is great as I am a lazy girl!
