Why Chrome Will Be Your Next Browser

(Link to us: http://snipurl.com/uecac)

Do you agree that Chrome will be your next web browser?

I am sure that people do know what is Google Chrome nowadays. And I guess that it is all because of the different exposures that people get these days. Google's web browser is about to make the leap from upstart to leader of the pack. This is the news or current information spread throughout the Internet. If you is not sure about it, read this post and learn more about it.

Chrome's market share numbers are sky-rocketing. Wow! It has blown past Safari and Opera to become the No. 3 most widely used web browser. That's rather impressive and I think it will make its way up even higher than we expected. Maybe it could overtake Firefox or challenge it, if not beat Internet Explorer sometime between the next 5 years.

After passing Safari just barely two months ago, it had now topped to become the 3rd most widely used web browser which is 5% (according to Net Applications). Within one and a half year, Chrome managed to grow faster and in some ways developing more quickly than Firefox ever did which took Firefox most of this decade to achieve its solid No. 2 status. Over the years, most tech-savvy users said that it has amazing features which is true like the add-ons that we can customize on. Its address bar works better than other address bar because when I start to type in a URL, its best guesses are almost always on target. Firefox has always been faster compared to other competitors.

Firefox have the growing support of average consumers and the critical support os early adopters. However, when Chrome was launched in 2008, it was almost laughably under-powered compared to any of the browsers but it was lighting fast. It let you search right inside from the address bar. With Google's effort, Chrome beta was followed in a short time before a full-blown of first version was introduced. Now, less than 2 years, Google is testing Google Chrome 4.0 while Firefox is still beta testing version 3.6!

As Chrome has risen over these years, people who previously supported Firefox said that it seems to be slower now. If using a web browser is weighing down your system, then it is not good. All browsers uses tabbed browsing which means they have to manage all multiple request of users with each featuring full-blown webpages that features from basic HTML to videos. Although, each tab is a separate process but all of them together can bring your system to a halt. Firefox lumps all tasks into one, but the overall process can get a bit slow at times. What's worse is that it becomes unstable and crashes. IE and Chrome does this too but Chrome just seems to handle the whole thing better than others.

Google has been updating their browser very often and recently, it had added bookmark and now it has a growing list of extensions like Firefox. However, as it grows more popular, Chrome will definitely suffer from someone exploiting it weakness. Microsoft and Mozilla may be glancing confidently in their side-view mirrors right now and pleased that Chrome is just at 5% which is far a distance. They may need to pay closer attention that 'Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.'

Thank You.
