ADVANTAGES
1. Speed - this is the only browser that is multi process. This means that for every new tab or plugin there is a new process created. This is not only fast, but for the first time that multi core cpu of yours will come in handy. Also javascript is compiled directly into machine code, which is run with greatest speed.
2. Stability - for the same as above, in case of plugin or tab crash - all other processes survive. This means you can only loose one tab. And you also get a process manager.
3. Lightweight - On long term Chrome uses less memory than other browsers. Especially memory usage is very clean, as once you close a tab, whole process is ended and all its memory is released. You also get process manager which shows you memory hogs, and where you can kill processes.
4. Incognito mode - You can browse privately and securely, without writing a single file or data into history, cookies, or cache. Ideal for "finding that surprise gift for wife" as google puts it, or as we all know - ideal for browsing pron late at night鈥?br>
5. UI and ease of use - Chrome has completely renewed user interface with tabs put on top. Use is very simple, installation is a snap. Since there are just a few features and things you can configure, there is nothing to mess up.
DISADVANTAGES
1. First Beta- This is just a first public beta of browser, so do not expect it to properly render and show every and all web pages. Even Acid3 test completes just 71% of tests (which is weird as WebKit on which Chrome is based, has no problems completing 100%).
2. Missing features - Several functions as bookmark management, session management and password management are very basic. For a serious web user this is a big disadvantage, and hopefully Google or community will address those soon.
3. Missing extensions - Similar to above. If I inspect my Firefox addons page, I see a number of plugins. Now, since I know that every plugin is eating away computer's resources, I tend to use only completely vital plugins for me, and currently on my Firefox addons list are: RoboForm, Tab Mix Plus, Google Toolbar, SeoQuake and FlashBlock. Especially the first two are vital for me, as they offer transparent way to save/view/manage/export/import my user/pw and other field's data which I can also use in Firefox and IE鈥?We checked with RoboForm and their answer was "RoboForm will not be able to work with Chrome". We hope this attitude to change soon.
4. Privacy concern - Google owns 60% of all web search queries worldwide. Google controls 70% of all web based advertising. Google most probably already owns your mailbox, and your online files, is tracking your website visitors鈥?Do you want to hand out even more power to the Google? They will be able to profile you as much as they want鈥?br>
5. UI - As much as I love new user interface, it is in fact pretty limited. As stability and speed targets power users, it is disappointing to see that tab management is pathetic, and does not even support multiple rows - and once you have 20+ tabs open things get crowded and you can not see anything in tab bar.
IN CONCLUSION: I think it's really and the best thing I ever used! Try it out! IT's AMAZING
Contrary to what I'm about to say, I love Chromium, it's fast and simple, however, that speed and simplicity comes at a cost.
I have found the security in the browser lacking. It was brought to my attention by an employee of General Dynamics (and no, not Global Dynamics from Eureka, these guys run network security for the DoD and build nuclear subs).
I'm not trying to discredit the browser, the geniuses at Google have fixed the exploit I used since, but I'd be weary to use the browser to purchase things. Still when using it for general things, facebook and the like, the security is good enough. I highly recommend it for everything but financial applications.Google Crome.. good or bad %26amp; why? please answer so I know if I should download it or not.?
it is soo good. it is faster and i find it easier to use so download it!!!
i have it on my school laptop and it is so much better than internet explorer and there is an app store so you can get all sorts or extensions. my favourite is the Facebook button - there is a button at the top and when u press it, it opens facebook on another tab.
it remembers eeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeryyyy鈥?thing!!!!
So I guess if you have a bad memo is good but if you don't then you have to go into the mail file so fort so on and adjust it to your like's plus on top of that it's broken down on me like 4 times and I already had to find a new icon for it. I much rather firefoxGoogle Crome.. good or bad %26amp; why? please answer so I know if I should download it or not.?
its depends on your needs, say you are a web developer and you need lot's of addons then you have no option except mozilla. because you can customize it as your needs. you can get millions of addons for mozilla but if you are a simple internet user then you can go with chrome because is incredibly fast. no doubt chrome is fastest browser in the world.
its light, its responsive, opens in 1.8 seconds or less, is simple, has an addon store, is faster than firefox and IE
and most of all
Its free.
I have it and I love it. I used to have Firefox and I think I went up in the chain of web browsers.
Very fast - the fastest of all the browsers. So, good for browsing but if you need tools for development, Firefox is better.
It's great. Just download it, you wont regret it.
Once it has the flexibility and add-on options that firefox has I may convert... Unlikely though.
Undoubtedly the fastest browser.
I have it and i think its preety goood (:
