Google Chrome

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I first started using Google Chrome as my only web browser. I previously used Firefox exclusively and I can tell you right now that I haven’t missed Firefox once. Yes, you heard that right and that’s not to suggest users abandoned Firefox.  I’m just here to tell you what my experience has been.

Downloading Chrome was simple and easy to do. My book marks from Firefox came across with out a hitch. The user interface is easy on the eyes and the brain. I am somewhat of a geek so it was a fairly easy learning curve for me.  I then went to Google Extensions and decided to load a number of extensions that would be useful for me. You just click on the ones you like and press the install button and they’re automatically added to Chrome.  What I really like about Extensions is you don’t have to restart the browser for them to work like you do with Firefox.

Here’s what I currently have loaded right now and I used by Picnik extension to capture this image:

What I like the most about Google Chrome is the vast reduction in resources it uses. I have a huge increase in available memory from when I used Firefox.  Web pages load faster. I can view many different types of media including word, pdf, power point and many other documents. My Cooliris page is ten times quicker in loading.

I’m really liking Google Chrome. So much so that I’ve decided to make it my default browser.  If you’re using Chrome I’d love to hear your experiences using it as well. If you haven’t tried it yet then go ahead. I think you will be pleasantly suprised just as I have.

(Note to FTC – Google Chrome is free to download, I do not work at Google, and I have not been paid in Google T-shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, thumb drives or cold hard cash)
