General Comments
I decided to download Google Chrome because I like most products that Google do. Performance wise I wasn't disappointed, it is very fast when searching for web pages and I like the fact they've gone along the same route as Safari with the book marks bar along the top so you've got easy access to your favorite sites and they're just a click away. Also when you first open up the browser it gives a list of all the sites that you look at the most so you can easily just click on the picture and go straight to that site. It works on the same principle as the speed dial feature on Opera. The only downside I've got with this browser is that it will freeze up every now and then, which I find really annoying, especially when you half way doing something and you have to wait for it to unfreeze. I know that it is still in the Beta stage, so little problems are bound to be there so I will stick with it and see if it improves. Overall I think Goole have done a good job with this, and would/have recommended to friends to give it a go.
