Google's new web browser - CHROME (Review)

Everyone knows Internet Explorer's just full of bugs and loop holes. Though Microsoft's web browser is still the world's most used browser. Research, tests, comparisons and so forth has been done for the past few years with web browsers. So far, Mozilla's firefox ousts all the other web browsers in the world, including Internet Explorer. The reason for this is because firefox is open source, hence it's free to anyone. It is more stable, less buggy and much faster in loading scripts on websites comparable with IE, Safari, etc.

Here's where something new is born. Introducing, Google's newest and only web browser, they call it CHROME. It is still on beta version, so expect bugs and page faults to appear. I personally have tested CHROME for a wee bit, say 20 minutes of browsing and fiddling. I did find that web pages with javascripts, images and other sorts of web applications loads faster than Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The look and feel of it, is also crisp and light. Its tabs functions like IE's, but what I like most is that they have incorporated the URL box and Search box together as one. So when you start typing a few letters, options by google starts popping out for you to simply pick an address. Overall, as a beta version, it's 10/10 for me. Here's the link for the Beta version, Google Chrome
