Google Chrome

<div class=\"postavatar\">google-chrome</div>

Google has many, many projects running. One of them includes Google Chrome (previously known as Chronium), their webbrowser. I’ve been using it for a month now and it’s quite good actually. Before Chrome, I’ve always used Firefox due to its speed, tabbed browsing and safety. However, I get the feeling Chrome is faster (it boots faster, for me), has the same easy tabbed browsing and decent security (I heard Firefox was better at that). A few other features are the ‘most visited’ page where you can easily access your favorite pages, downloads are seperate on each page and my favorite feature: typing an adress in your bar will make it search in Google for relevant links or earlier visited links. For example, when I want to go to IMDB, I only need to type the ‘i’ and voila, imdb shows up immediately. This makes browsing so much quicker and more convenient. However, Chrome is not without bugs. It’s still in its beta phase and you can experience problems with it. I haven’t yet. Try it out at Google Chrome.
