Google today officially entered the web browser market with its entry called Googles Chrome which you can check all details and download it here. I’ve spend the last two to three hours using the browser and visiting all the usual sites I frequent daily, so far I have had no inconvenience with anything. 

 

After three hours I miss all my favorite Firefox extensions/add ons, but at the same time that’s what I like about it. This browser feels simple,fast and stable , I have yet entered a site where it gets all slow and crappy.

The startpage is  a plus, it displays the pages that you most visit showing you a screenshot of each of them. This could save a lot of time, when sometimes you just want to open up the browser to check a specific page you frequent it will probably be there without you having to type a single letter :]

For the people that download loads of stuff in their browser(like me) there’s going to be a big relieve. Sometimes we dowload stuff on our browsers and when we go looking for it later on we just don’t remember what file we moved it to, with chrome you don’t have that problem no more. Chrome has a download “Box” where you can manage all your downloaded stuff, oh and it has a search box on top so you can just search for what you are looking without having to “manually” search for it.

Google is also focusing on the tabs. The chrome browser display the tabs on the top of the browser and lets you quickly reorganize them by just dragging them around or open a new window by dragging them out of the current one and into the desktop.

In general its a great browser and we have to remember that this is just the first version and Googles first browsers. So with that in mind we can only expect it to get better and better with time, you can download it here and give it  a try for yourself.
