Choosing your Browser: Google Chrome
Google has released their own browser a few days ago. I’m here to give insight on how it works and if you should use it or not. Continue on to read my experience so far with this new browser.
Pros:
1. Very fast loading. I like this very much.
2. Minimalistic menus, which I like. Some people however don’t like this feature.
3. The URL area can directly be used as a google search. When you type in anything there, it will automatically search for it on google if its not a direct URL. That area also predicts what you may be typing in. A useful feature.
4. You can create a direct shortcut on your Windows Desktop to a site that you frequently visit without having to launch the browser.
Cons:
1. When I first installed this, I couldn’t view any videos from YouTube or any other Video sharing site. I also was getting errors when I tried to open up Sanriotown. It took me 3 days to figure out what was going on. Luckily, I searched the google chrome help page and found out that it has something to do with the Kaspersky anti-virus that I’ve got installed. I had to allow something so that certain sites won’t be blocked.
2. Very little plugin support. Considering this is beta, there are very few plugins available.
3. Currently available for Windows XP and Vista only. Which is a disappointment for me because I use Linux too. There is word of a Mac version being developed but I’m not sure when it will be available.
This is a great browser overall. Give it a try if you want just search for "google chrome" in google and it should direct you to the download link.

I read a small article about Chrome on Newsweek. Seems it has some security problems/loopholes during its first release. It’s probably better to wait until Google irons all the kinks out before actually using the browser…

IE8 and Mozilla have their own loopholes as well. Newsweek is hyping up the news on Chrome because its competitors IE and Mozilla are feeling threatened by the it. Also this is beta software, don’t expect it to be polished. There is a reason why its in the “beta” phase. I’m participating in the google community and submitting feedback and issues that I discover. Like I said in my post, give it a try. I’m not trying to tell people to use it outright. I still use Mozilla as my main browser.

To every SanrioTown user reading this,
If you ask me, I’ll answer this: I prefer the latest version of the Opera browser. ^_~ simply because it loads most websites faster in my computer. It’s very useful, too. ^_~ Everyone, I suggest you try Opera today and see it for yourself. www.opera.com

I’ve been using Google Chrome i actually put it as my default browser. It works great and it is fast. It actually works better then Enternet Explorer. Its labels are pretty neat.
