I have been an IE user forever. I have tried Mozilla quite a few times and I really want to like it but I just never could. I read about Google Chrome and figured I would give it a try. If you haven’t used it stop reading right now and download it.
There are a few features I really like.
- It opens VERY fast.
- The cursor goes right to the address/search bar when it opens and the default home page is actually useful.
- The tabs actually work. You can move them around, drag them in and out of windows and close them in one click
- Google regularly updates the browser and you don’t even know. Now I don’t have to wait years for the next version.
It is one of those things that is hard to explain why it is better.. it just is.
I love it too, but it’s also a memory hog probably due to all those rendering processes. It also doesn’t do middle-click for new tab, at least not by default.
