It's from Google!

Yes,Google Chrome, the web browser by Google, has been gaining market share steadily since the day it was introduced. And rightly so. It's by far the best browser.

Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers out there today. Mozilla’s Firefox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer are constantly competing with Google’s browser for top spot amongst the most used when surfing the Internet
.

Google decided to release a large chunk of the source code for its web browser which they title Chromium. This has allowed a multitude of developers to tweak, change and modify Chrome in such a way to make it accessible on the Mac OS and Linux operating systems as well as making native improvements to the Windows-based version.

. If you are not already using Chrome, you’re missing out on a lot of great features. There are five top reasons why Chrome is the best
, and if these features do not sway you to give it a try, we do not know what will.

Huge collection
 of extensions and add-ons:

Chrome has one of the largest
collection
 of extensions, add-ons and built-in applications that enhance the browser’s ability to do what you want it to do.

While Firefox and Internet Explorer boast impressive extensions as well, they cannot even come close to the amount of encouragement Google gives to developers to change the way Chrome works. Google themselves release official Chrome extensions, add-ons and more to make the browser more functional for its users.

Chrome also boasts a large library of HD themes included under the extension banner. These themes range from your favorite sports teams to color schemes and more. These themes are easily installed, require no restart to start using and can make your browser more like you and your desktop theme.

If you are looking to truly customize you web browser beyond what a basic installation of Chrome offers, the Google Chrome Web Store can get you there.

Clean, simple user interface:

The biggest complaints about Internet Explorer back when it was one of the only browsers available was how clunky it made users feel. After Firefox’s release, many flocked to what Mozilla released because of how they revamped what a browser should look like. Then, Chrome hit the web and more users jumped ship to its simple, clean user interface.

Google has done away with many of the traditional context menus, settings options and bookmarks layout. They have given users a truly clean experience when surfing the web. You can rest assured when using Chrome that doing what you want with it is quick because you do not have to jump through hoops to get to where you want to go. The clean interface makes that possible.

Searching from the address bar:

Typing in Google.com in your address bar, waiting for it to load and then typing what you want to look for online is not a terribly difficult process. However, Chrome takes those three steps and combines them into one with the use of its address bar. Simply type in what you want to look for.

Google’s Chrome automatically begins searching for it not only in your session’s browser history but also by loading search results on the page. This cuts the time in half it normally takes looking for things online.

Chrome’s Task Manager:

Have you ever clicked “Shift + ESC” in Google Chrome? Give it a try.

Chrome’s built-in Task Manager should pop-up in the middle of your screen. This gives you a list of all the tabs opened, along with the memory, CPU, Network and FPS resources it is using. If a particular tab is giving you issue, you can close it by clicking “End Process.” Since Chrome opens every web page as its own tab, you can narrow down what pages are giving you problems instead of having to close the entire browser and lose what you are working for.

If you right-click on any task, you will be given options as to what other statistics you can display to see what resources it is using while open.

Clicking on “Stats for Nerds” will give you an analysis of memory used, including the virtual memory used for each tab.

Incognito Mode:

The most underused but most amazing feature of Google Chrome often gets ignored by its users. Do you know what it is? It is Incognito Mode, and if you have not used it, yet, you are missing out. Incognito Mode allows you to surf the web without worrying about browsing history, download history or cookies. These are all deleted when you close the browser.

Any changes you make to settings or bookmarks are saved for you. You just do not have to worry about others seeing where you are surfing, what you are downloading and whether or not your cookies are being stored.

In order to get started with Incognito Mode in Chrome, you can either click on the “Wrench Icon” and click“New Incognito Mode.” The keyboard shortcut for incognito mode is “Ctrl+Shift+N”.

This will open a new window for you in Incognito Mode.

You can also get to Chrome by right clicking on its task bar icon or you can click on the “Left Arrow” in the Start Menu to start an Incognito Mode session.

Still if you don’t think Google Chrome is for you…your wish!
