Google Chrome

Have you tried out Google Chrome? It is a web browser, and a free download, offering an alternative way to access the internet. You can still use your current browser, (i.e. Internet Explorer or Firefox), but you might want to give this browser a try.

Here are a couple of reasons why I really like Chrome.

1. It's very fast.

2. It's very simple: Like many Google apps and services, Chrome emphasizes ease of use. Compared with Internet Explorer, there are fewer menus, options, and features to configure. Usually that's a good thing, but not always.

3. Better security: Chrome is a paradise of protection compared to Internet Explorer due in part to two factors: architecture and obscurity. Chrome's use of "sandboxing," isolating Internet commands from the operating system and other apps and data, makes it harder for hackers to load malware onto PCs. It is important to note, however, that Chrome's low market share also contributes to its relative safety.

4. Runs well on older hardware: Chrome's speediness is ideal for older hardware with slower components.
