Google just announced their new browser - Chrome.
Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
- Why use it?
- First, I never recommend, only use one browser. Use any one or combinations of what ever you like.
- Next, "avoid Internet Explorer." Just too many problems & no controls to turn off, dangerous features.
- Chrome is very fast. Though, a smaller version of Opera still seems faster, to me.
- I like Google's innovation with Chrome. Make it "the OS" of the computer. Why?
- It shouldn't matter, if you are on Windows, or Linux, or MacOSX. If you are in Chrome on the Web. You should have a powerful and convenient user interface.
- This is "just a BETA." They are still working on it. It runs fine, I haven't had one crash. (Unlike my Internet Explorer v7!)
- They will support OSes besides MS Windows, later.
- Other People consider Google Evil. I don't.
- Until, I see Google "demanding" $300 for a trivial Google-Docs / Office update Software / Webware release package. (When it's free. If you don't like it. Just don't use it. At least, you didn't throw away cash.)
- It doesn't scare me, what they may know about - where I'm web searching. (As long, is it doesn't show up as a "10k lined list" on my Facebook page.)
Platform: Windows

PS. Yes, I consider it (a browser) a tool. The "define a Web Application Shortcut. Something rather hard to do on Windows. (Unless, you love "stating long URLs in shortcut files. I do not.)
