“Google's web browser, now faster than ever”

by Elena Santos about Google Chrome

Google Chrome definitely deserves its position as a browser to reckon with.

Besides the features we already knew from previous versions, such as the download manager, incognito browsing mode and bookmark syncing, Google Chrome has other great functions based on user feedback. One of the most eye-catching new features Google Chrome is support to recognize speech input through HTML. In certain circumstances, like when you're using Google Translate, you'll be able to actually speak to your browser and have your words translated and spoken back to you.

Chrome’s sandboxing technology has been extended to the built-in Flash Player, thus increasing your safety while browsing the web. Also, Chrome now lets you sync passwords across computers – a great feature for those of you who are constantly switching between different computers. Google Chrome maintains the same impressive usability and ease of use. With zero learning curve, you immediately feel in your element and there's no need to start testing new shortcuts or reading the documentation.

If you're considering making the switch from old favorites like Firefox or Internet Explorer, Google Chrome is definitely an excellent choice for a new web browser.

Google Chrome, Google's browser, mixes a clean, minimalist interface with a variety of powerful tools that make it a great browser.

Pros
  • Clean, attractive
  • Uses the same keyboard shortcuts as Firefox
  • Incognito browsing mode Support for extensions
  • Great HTML5-powered functionality
  • Can sync data between different computers
Cons
  • Syncing feature requires Google account
