Google Chrome

So, I was pretty happy when Mozilla Firefox first came out, because it meant that I could stop using Internet Explorer. I feel like Microsoft is really behind as far as innovation is concerned. They're just cautious about what they do. Whenever they do make big changes to the format of their stuff, it's usually because some other company has come out with a better product that they rip off (i.e. Windows Vista, the current iteration of IE, etc.).

Anyway, I've been a fan of Firefox since I started using it, but my brother-in-law is more of computer guy than I am and he said that I should try Google Chrome. I was a little skeptical at first, since I really like Firefox, but he said "it's like it has all the features that you didn't realize that you wanted, and it's faster than Firefox." I figured that it was worth a try, since I can't think of anything that Google has done that wasn't high quality.

Today was the first day I tried it, and I can say that it has my seal of approval. It's got a really nice, clean interface. You can use one bar for both searching and browsing, if something running on one tab and it crashes, it won't kill the whole program, and you can drag tabs into their own separate windows. In short, it's just better. Get it. Install it. Enjoy it. You won't be sorry.
