googel Chrome

Chrome

www.google.com/chrome
I've been trying out a new web browser this week, and I have to say I am so far really impressed. Chrome is an offering from Google.

Straight away you can recognise the Google design team's influence here - the browser is simple, efficient and super fast, and has some nice little features to save you clicking your mouse to international RSI standards!

Downloading and installing is a breeze, and the software recognises which browser you use and will do all the messy importing of bookmarks and settings for you.

The browser window itself is crisp and clear; check out the getting started page for a full run down of the features.

Searching has been highly streamlined, as typing anything in the address bar will offer up web pages and search terms to apply to your default browser. It even highlights pages you have visited previously that contain those words - very handy.
The second is the frequently visited pages feature, which appears whenever you open a new tab. Here you'll see all the pages you visit a lot, laid out in thumbnail format so it's super easy to find your way to your faves. Lovely.
