Google 's Chrome browser is not about shine

In case you haven't heard, there's a new browser in town. It's just a couple of days old and it's already giving Microsoft reasons to worry. It's Google Chrome. Why would Microsoft worry? Google Chrome will not crash. That's what a lot of people who have used it are agreeing on so far. That's a first; a browser, even in beta, not plagued by teething problems in the first few days of it's life. Is this enough to dump Internet explorer? Maybe.

Remember the google search engine? Remember how simple and functional it is? Ok. You do not have to try and remember. You use it like, everyday? Google stuck to it's clean and simple interface, all the way, in Chrome. Do not try to install toolbars. Even google toolbar is not supported on Chrome. Huh?! Well, not yet. If you prefer looks to functionality, you'll be disappointed by Chrome's sparse design. It looks like the basic 'hello world' application. I, personally, will be interested in function, not looks. And Chrome does make Internet Explorer look overdressed. But toolbars are functional, you would say. And since you can't install toolbars in Chrome, how functional is the browser itself?

Well, imagine everything you did with Firefox or Internet Explorer. Now you can do those things much more easier. You do not need to read a technical review to decide to download and install chrome . You will not be desappointed. But really, what's all the hype about? There's no Chrome version for the Mac.

And does Google's Chrome still depend on Windows' Internet settings?. Uh oh!

	Google Chrome is good.... I love its simplicity and I prefer the way it is, eventhough, it might look like it is not as customisable like firefox or IE, it still has some new features like dragging a tab into a window on its own. I always look the innovativeness of Google, and right now, i am enjoying chrome, hopefully, the can improve better in its functionality..... sorry Firefox!!!

	Google Chrome is good.... I just downloaded Chrome and the only immediately noticeable thing about the Google browser is simplicity! It sure is simple, but I still prefer functionality, speed & secuirity, which is where Opera comes in. Firefox or IE don't have all these in the same degree as Opera. You might try it too. Point here if would like too http://www.opera.com
