Google's top free browser

                                              

Google Chrome for Windows and Mac is a free web browser developed by internet giant Google. Chrome is designed to offer its users a fast and easy browsing experience, reason why its user interface is rather clean. Google has put efforts into making its browser a safe one with great settings, information and cookies management built-in tools.

What are the main reasons for installing Google Chrome?

A computer can have several browsers at the same time. This means that you don't have to delete  when you install Google Chrome on a computer. In fact, advanced users use different browsers for different reasons.

Google Chrome is the best choice for Internet users who have a Windows-based computer and who meet one of the following criteria:

  • A slow internet connection.
  • They need an updated browser.
  • They are not technology experts.

Speed

Google Chrome is one of the fastest browsers, if not the fastest, on the market. There are several reasons for this:

  • The simplicity of its interface, with little more than the bare minimum, makes it consume very little RAM memory.
  • Even if extensions and plug-ins have been installed, they do not load when the page loads, so the user does not need to wait.
  • It uses the latest JavaScript engine available at all times.
  • It has a DNS pre-fetching function that improves the loading speed of the various web pages. It relies on Google's servers to achieve this.

Automatic updates

Google Chrome doesn't rely on the user for updates, it just updates itself. Whenever Google releases a new update, which it does quite often, it installs the corresponding files. As a result, many users do not know which version of Chrome they have installed. To find out, just click on the key icon which is located in the upper right-hand corner.

Security

The updates always incorporate an updated version of the malware and phishing databases, so users will see an alert every time they go to a listed website. Security and privacy is one of the key features of this browser.

Customizable home page

Users can customize the homepage that Google Chrome displays when a user opens the browser. There are two options:

  • Thumbnails of the most visited sites that work like shortcuts and can be changed according to your own preferences.
  • Icons of the installed applications.

Bookmark bar

There is a yellow star placed in the top right corner, next to the key, that allows users to save the web pages they visit. They can be stored in the bookmark bar or in a structure designed by the user, hierarchical or otherwise. The bookmark bar can be kept visible or hidden.

Google Chrome Extensions

One of the biggest advantages of Google Chrome for Windows is the variety of extensions it offers. These extensions are applications that the user decides whether to install in the browser. The decision is personal and depends on the needs or interests of each user. Google Chrome installs three of them by default: the Google search engine, Gmail and YouTube.

There are extensions of all kinds, from games to social networking tools and utilities. Even though most of them are free, others are paid or have paid versions. 

It is important to install only extensions that are necessary, so as not to affect the performance of the browser.

Google Chrome and its relationship with Google

Chrome is called Google Chrome for a reason. It's Google's browser and it's designed to be optimized for searches. The search engine is one of the three extensions that appear in the default start window and to perform a search users just have to write their search terms in it and press enter.
