Google Chrome Worth a Look

Google Chrome has hit our shores and is definitely a contender for browser of the year. Although Google Chrome is still in beta stage it is extremely fast. So fast that it makes a cheetah on cocaine look slow. It really is that fast. You have to give it to Google, you either love there products or hate them, and even if you hate them you still end up using them somewhere or other sooner or later. Chrome has an excellent simplistic look and feel to it. It's ergonomics comes from a principle of everything on one page. A simple but effective concept.

There are still a number of bugs, some in the way of how chrome handles flash, but all is forgiven when pages load a 150% faster, very impressive.The only negative will be the lack of imediate ad-dons, if Google corrects this problem and begs for forgiveness, i will be switching to chrome quikcer than a politicians application for funding.
