Review On Google Chrome

The browser reflects a focus on web applications--letting you create shortcuts for your favorite ones that will open the applications even if Chrome is closed, and more--and runs well. Still, it will be some time before I consider it as my default browser.The browser reflects a focus on web applications--letting you create shortcuts for your favorite ones that will open the applications even if Chrome is closed, and more--and runs well.

Chrome feels, interface-wise, like it comes from Google. It doesn't load a standard Windows menu system up top by default; instead, you just have a tool bar up top, and a place to collect your bookmarks. To bookmark any page, just click the Star icon at the left of Chrome's address bar.

Chrome's design was squarely centered around being friendly with web applications, and not just static web pages. It has a powerful JavaScript engine, for example, dubbed V8, and it includes Google Gears.The browser also lets you create application shortcuts on the fly, very much like creating shortcuts in Windows, and then you can use the shortcuts to launch web applications regardless of whether you're running Chrome or not. If people start to use arrays of cloud applications, I could see this becoming very useful.

Chrome has a simplified download manager, so that when you do a download, there is no separate window where you see download activity (as there is, sometimes annoyingly, in Firefox). In Chrome, your download is at the bottom of your browser window, and you can drag downloaded applications right to your desktop.

Chrome is going to need, as an open source browser, to get the kind of community support for extensibility that FireFox has. Until it does, it's not as powerful in my eyes. Google does have its eyes on all of this.Overall, It's a fast, clean, stable beta browser that shows promise but will need community support.
