“We saw an opportunity, given how much the Web has evolved, to rewrite the browser from scratch,” says Sundar Pichai, Google’s vice president for product management. The goal, he says, was to create a simple, yet powerful user experience with no interruptions: “The user should enjoy surfing the Web, and the browser should stay out of it.”

If the above is their goal, then I believed Google has achieved it.

The centerpiece of Chrome is the tab, which is located at the top of the browser. If one tab is loading a page, a user can switch to another tab to continue work without waiting. Similarly, if one tab crashes or freezes, you can close that tab without affecting other open tabs. This helps to keep memory jams from bogging down the computer or the whole browser.

When you open Chrome, the default page brings you to your nine most visited sites, giving the page a customized look and feel. It also displays your search history and recent bookmark selections.

One user-friendly feature is that the search and address window have been combined. Now there’s just one box, and it has become a center of power - just starting to type any letter in the alphabet will bring up suggestions. These are culled from bookmarks (Chrome automatically imports bookmarks and passwords from your existing browser) and from popular searches that begin with that letter.

Enough say. I started leaving Firefox behind. To download Chrome: Click Here.
