"Google Chrome Browser"

A while back, someone told me there was a problem with ChamberofCommerce-ontheWeb.com when using the Google Chrome Browser. After we got the problem solved, I decided to take a look at Chrome.

It was already downloaded onto my computer, but I'd never opened it. My first moment of amazement came when it opened! Boom! It was there! I nearly jumped back!

Since that time, I've been using Chrome every day. At first, it seemed a little “bare” but, then, I was used to Firefox.

I always loved FireFox - until recently. It seems with every upgrade, it gets heavier, slower and causes me more aggravation. I was really getting annoyed with the fact that Mozilla seemed to have taken a great browser and upgraded it into a PITA.

I had even dumped all my “add-ons” in FireFox, hoping that would speed it up again. No go. Didn't help at all.

The “bareness” of Chrome was caused by not having the Google tool bar. You can't use it with Chrome. But, it didn't take me long to figure out - you don't need it with Chrome. And, less stuff on the screen gives me a larger “picture.”

I LOVE this thing. You see the term, “lightning fast” all the time, but it's generally meaningless. Not so with Chrome! That sucker opens, closes and renders pages in a FLASH! I simply imported my bookmarks and passwords - which also happened in a flash - and I was good to go.

FireFox is at least 1,000% better than Internet Explorer (IE). But, in the opinion of someone using a browser at least 14 hours a day, Chrome leaves FireFox in the dust.
