Review – Google Chrome WebBrowser…The Firefox Killer?

This is Google’s attempt to get into the Web Browser market. Its has almost all the best features of the top web browsers out there. It has Firefox’s speed and open source back end. It has Safaris incognito or as i call it “porn setting”. That lets you open a new tab and anything in that tab will not be logged in your history or cache. It also has Operas speed dial home page that shows the top pages you visit in thumbnail screen shots of those pages. It also imports all your bookmarks and saved passwords from fire fox so you don’t have to go through the hastle of setting everything up again. The only downside to the browser as i can see right now is it doesn’t have add-ons like Firefox has. So not customizations for themes or additional plugins. So Googles chrome is going to be my default browser for now. Everything loads fast and seems reliable. Its easy to use and has some great features. you can get Google Chrome WebBrowser right here www.google.com/chrome
