Google Chrome Beta Review


Hey guys, if you live in one the major countries or one of the 100 google institued you probably downloaded the new web browser from google, Google Chrome. This web browser is marketed as a competor to IE but i think they asked Microsoft for the script code from IE (internet explorer). The interface is the same, there's no add-ons like Firefox and the tabs are still so simple to use as long as you have a toe you can make one, but there are some things that are better.

Such as the fact that you can encode websites into different languages if they have accepted the ability to alter the text the correct encoding (i.e: a German website that want's to be translated to english will change it's encoding to be able to translate to english). Another cool thing it can do is it has the ability to make a shortcut that can be placed on your desktop that will automatically link your website of choice. The final cool thing is that it's actually FASTER than IE and Firefox and it's still in beta, infact that's what I'm talking to you through). There were also 2 other features it contained, 1 is incognito which allows you to open web pages and they wont show up in your history (for all you..... cat watchers out there). The 2nd one is that it can actually copy links from different areas such as picture URL's you want without having to open the page, copy paste the link in the adress bar and bring it over to, now you can just right click and copy link then paste to wherever you want. 

Although this browser is AMAZING I still have some major gripes which also fall under the same catagories as my gmail rant. See: http://guarasciabloghome.blogspot.com/2008/08/gmail-sucks.html . Such as the fact that they disallow ALOT of cookies sometimes major ones such as blogger, that was the only major on I saw but I'm sure theres more. They also don't give you the home page button on the address bar right away you have to put on yourself. Also whenever you make a new favourite it isnt just a favourite you can access from a favourite's area on your address bar, it's placed in the quick links bar, so it could be filled up REALLY FAST.

Anyways, thats the last thing I have to say about this other than the final verdict.

Final Verdict:
Go download it. If you don't god will come down and kick in your balls until you die. The software is simple but has alot of useful interfaces. (Also note all of this review was conducted solely on the BETA version of the software program, all readers of the full release of the initiated software's full version must be diregarded from this review.)

Score:
Interface: 9
Accessability:9
Speed:10
Final Score: 9.5
