Tags: computer software, personal technology, mindless rambles about how good chrome is
 Since it was Google Chrome's birthday last week, I thought that I should do a little tribute. It's my default browser and I find that there aren't a lot of people who use it. Some might be intimidated by how it looks or maybe some really just prefer other browsers. This is my little birthday greeting but, I'm not going to give you mindless rambles about how good Chrome is. On Compbuzz, I have easy to understand facts and today should be no different. So, as always, I'm going to lay things straight and tell you what's awesome about Chrome and why should try it yourself and I'm also going to tell you what makes other browsers better than it.

If you've been browsing the internet for a long time and you enjoy browsing as a hobby, you probably have your own preferences. You know what you want to have on your browser and you know what you want to have, but sometime the problem really is knowing where to look for the things that you want. If you've never seen the Chrome then you can see its image on its subpage at Google where you can download it. Just like many of Google's services, it's a free browser so you can download Chrome for free. When you open the browser you're shown a set of boxes with the images of the sites that you usually visit for easy access, as opposed to other browsers that send you straight to your home website.
I actually find this more convenient than going to a homepage since that site is usually a search engine. If you've got issues with Google's search engine then don't use the address bar for searching words or whatever since it's an automated Google search engine. The toolbars are clean. They could very well be the cleanest of all the browsers but that would be an over statement. The shape of the window looks different, but browsers like Firefox and Opera can look just as clean as Chrome. Instead of having long toolbars however, it uses icons on the right side of the page to change its settings. This might take some getting used to for some users but it's basically the same. There's also an incognito window option that allows you to hide the sites that you visit from other users. The function does not save cookies so that no evidence of you being on the site is revealed to other users of the computer. So whether you're looking up cheesy poetry or planning surprise parties, incognito keeps you safe. This is probably the only browser software that automates secret browsing. Now there are some people who think that different browsers don't make a difference other than how it looks like. They couldn't be more incorrect. Each one has their own specialty; this includes speed and how they handle downloading from different sites. Some browsers can even keep viruses at bay when others will just fall short. In this aspect Chrome will have its own weaknesses and strengths. You can use different browsers, don't limit yourself. It's when you limit yourself that you keep yourself blind to change innovation and, ultimately, better things.
