But for more serious intensive browsing it cannot beat FireFox with its many viable extensions. Chrome does not yet allow you to wrap the tabs into multiple lines, or save pages as .MHT (UnMht) or SaveWithURL, or undo closed tabs or change tab width, etc. (TabMixPlus) or color (ColorfulTabs), or save many different sessions for later use (Session manager). Nor (to my knowledge) does it provide print preview or themes. But it is a welcome addition to my list of browsers, praise the Lord.

Wait until Google releases 1-3 more updates/upgrades/newer versions to Google chrome and then try it again and most of you would like it (or since i’m now posting this, try the latest version of Google Chrome) but if you want add-ons/extensions that don’t slow down your browser or cause other issues like with Firefox, give Google 5 months - 1 year. Also, Google Chrome, believe it or not, is much faster, has a cleaner interface, uses less memory, crashes less than Firefox (with me) and is more secure and Google releases 10-30 nightly builds of Google Chrome everyday and also has a Developers/Testers channel which has newer versions of Google Chrome every 1-2 weeks (with a change log and new features etc) which are tested before they are publicly released. Google Chrome's EULA was changed the day it was released when an error was found in it.

I’m hearing a lot about Chrome’s security being slack!

Thanks for the heads up!

It keeps so-called "flash cookies" even after leaving the Incognito mode. So every website can still keep track on you using this technique. And other users of your computer can see where you have been surfed too. Unfortunatly Chrome’s Incognito mode isn’t really private.

Its fast, simple, easy to use, maximises the screen size and generally is a pleasure to use. All it needs is some decent plug-ins and it'll be bye-bye Firefox! Thanks for the review!

Chrome needs a few! @TCCritic Firstly, thanks for calling me a geek - that was nice! You refer to my review as 'superflous analysis' - yet it's been read by tens of thousands of people and was one of the first reviews of Chrome anywhere on the 'net. How come you think tabbed browsing is new? Are you from the past? You also say there's nothing new about Chrome - the SPEED is new! It's far, far faster than IE8 or FF3. That said, 'apparently' Firefox 3.1 will be superfast when it launches at the end of the year. <strong>Oh yeah - The fact that every tab in Chrome is unique, so that if it crashes you only lose that tab and not all your tabs and all your work - yep, that's new too and unavailable in either FF3 or IE8!</strong> I don't use Chrome as my default browser (I use FF3) - but for anything that requires speed, it has to be Chrome, for now.
