Very attractive, fast as lightning, provides all the service of other browsers faster and in a more pleasing way.
Bad Points
Nothing but the downloads feud that few people would have a problem with.
General Comments
I tried Google Chrome out as a Beta not so long ago, from using Firefox, and wasn't very impressed at first glance. I quickly switched back for its lack of customization.
However, my computer was having a few problems at one point and what I really needed was a quick browser that would open as soon as I clicked it and I didn't have to mess about with once it had opened.
Chrome was exactly what I needed. After trying a few browsers and being disappointed, I came to Chrome with low expectations but it really is the perfect browser for me and others like myself to use.
It is so fast and innovative, very attractive and downloading [which I do a lot] is now done with such ease; all I have to do is confirm the download and I can close the tab as it works in the background, or use the Ctrl+J hotkey to open the downloads page.
And what's more, all of this seems to happen in the slightest millisecond. With my previous browsers, I would click something and have to wait a few seconds for it to happen. In Chrome, however, everything happened as soon as I touched a button.
I would like to be able to click download and to be able to confirm the download even if I stray into another tab as I work very quickly and find that I have to move back to a previous tab as I easily forget to confirm the download. However, this is the only thing I dislike about Chrome.
In all honesty, it deserves a 10, but as a typical critic I always the excuse that it 'could be better'.
