Google Chrome -Lab 2 Post

Internet Browser -David Matthews
Google Chrome is a Very Flexible Web Browser,
In the Past I have tried Many Web browsers including, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Firefox, Netscape, Links, and Google Chrome. Of all the Browsers I've Tried, Google Chrome is by far my favorite. The Close Second is opera, for it's ability to compress images to speed up Web browsing. Firefox Used to be my favorite, However, many of the pages I visit have heavy Flash Content that cause Firefox to freeze up or crash. Another problem I had with Firefox is the way it handles scripts, I get All sorts of errors, even with the latest version. Also with firefox, and opera, start up time is really bad for me waiting for the browser to load for sometimes over 3 minuets just to find out, I didn't really have any new emails. While opera is way better than fire fox (in my opinion) when it comes to handing scripts, and Flash, It falls short when it comes to add ons, their are very few useful addons for opera, while with firefox, you can have Download managers, and weather widgets, Email notifiers, and IM Clients, with opera, you get a virtual Fish tank, and sports scores. With Microsoft's Internet Explorer, you get a quick startup, and it handles flash very well, however, IE, is full of security holes. Also some of the very Addons made for internet explorer, can cause major issues, some so bad you may have to reinstall IE, I have witness thees First hand, as many of my relatives have come across this problem, And I have helped them fix it. however IE has come pretty far. Internet Explorer Actually Used to be part of Windows Explorer, The File manager for Windows. So if Your Internet Explorer Got Messed up Then you were in Big trouble.

As for Google Chrome, you get the great Startup Speed of IE, and the wide Addon Support of Firefox, with opera's stability! basically the best of the three browsers all in one, also Google Chrome has an open source counterpart "Chromium", that is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, while IE only works on Windows.
Also for those who want added security, their is Iron from SRWare, based on Chromium's source code. As if Google Chrome Did not have enough addons, Google Launched the Crome Web Store, a one stop shop for all your needs, you can find most any thing for your browser here, From Games and puzzles, to virtual sticky notes, and news. Their is even an app called StayFocused that limit's your Web browsing time to increase the amount of work you get done!

So in my experience, With my Slow computer and Even Slower internet, Google Chrome is my #1 Pick!
