For a long time, the fight for the supremacy of the browser kingdom has involved just two major players: Mozilla's Firefox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer,
each trying to attract more users with their functionality. However,
the search engine giant Google has decided to enter the battle with its
very own solution: Google Chrome.
Since its launch in 2008,
Google’s browser has quickly attracted attention and users no longer
install it only to check out a new app, since it already showed that it
can be just as stable and feature-packed as the dedicated browsers.
Installation
is extremely easy due to the simple setup pack that makes the whole
task just a matter of clicking “Next” a few times, along with some
options that are far from complicated.
The interface is clean
and pleasant, but those who do not really like it can easily apply
themes, so that every one can bring their very own touch to an otherwise
static app. Being focused on leaving the user plenty of room for
viewing the visited webpage, the interface is kept as minimalistic as
possible, with the address bar featuring all the buttons one might
require for navigation.
Another way to customize Google Chrome
and make it more suitable to one's needs is to install extensions –
Google has created a comprehensive Webstore for these extensions, where
users can find basically any type of app or extension, ranging from
education to games, lifestyle and blogging.
A novelty introduced
by Google Chrome is the fact that when the user visits more than a
single website, more processes are started, so that if one of the
webpages crashes, the user can simply terminate its tab (and implicitly
its process), without closing the whole browser.
Also, this
browser places a lot of emphasis on user privacy, so the Incognito Mode
was created. It allows users to explore the Internet the usual way, but
when the app is closed, it automatically erases all cookies and history
it may have created, thus ensuring one's privacy is maintained.
The
freeware license and the frequent updates convince more and more users
to take this browser into consideration. Designed with simplicity in
mind, it is an easy to use app that can become a powerful package if the
user chooses to install add-ons. This makes it the perfect browser
basically for every type of user out there.
