Google Chrome is a very simple and fast browser. The moment you install it, it opens up without the long delay like a lot of the other browsers. The problem with Google Chrome is it can be too simple and while Google Chrome now has add-ons, their not on par with Firefox's add-ons. For instance their version of Adblock Plus [called Adblock+] is limited in blocking ads compared to Firefox's Adblock Plus add-on. You also can't customize the look and feel of each add-on like you can with Firefox's add-ons. The biggest problem with Google Chrome is privacy concerns. It automatically shares your surfing habits with Google regardless the search engine you choose to use. But if you use Google anyways then the privacy concerns are limited. So if you use Google as your search engine and just want a simple and fast browser to surf the web with then Google Chrome is worth a shot. If your looking for more than that, your best sticking with another browser.

Pros
  • Lightning fast
  • Simple to use
  • Beautiful default interface
  • Works straight out of the box
  • Free
Cons
  • Limited options
  • Monitored by Google
  • Number of good add-ons is limited
  • Not as customizable as Firefox
  • Too simple for some
