Google's browser, Chrome, recently became the number one most used internet browser in the world - surpassing Internet Explorer. If you haven't tried out Chrome yet here are some reasons why you just might want to give it a shot:
It's Fast! Chrome is faster when browsing some websites. I have found this to be true when using Google Maps here at school.
Access to Apps! When you use Chrome and log into your Google account you can download apps from the Chrome Store. Then you can access those apps when you use Chrome. Many of the apps are free but some are only free to demo - so be sure to read the details about each app. Some are educational and work great when used with a SMARTboard.
Signing In! If you use Chrome and log into your Google account, everything you bookmark, your settings, and history will be transferred to other computers or devices you use that have Chrome too. This means, when you log into Google (with your school account) at home, school, or computer lab, Chrome will look the same and have the same bookmarks in all locations.
Omnibox! Chrome was the first browser to implement the Omnibox, which just means the address bar at the top of the browser where you'd normally type your web site addresses is also a search bar now. Just type in whatever you would normally type into a Google search, hit your enter key, and it will take you to the search results! Easy!
Stability! When you open new webpages Chrome will put them into tabs on the top of the page. Each tab is separate so that if one site crashes, it shouldn't crash or lock up the computer. Just that one site will crash and can be closed down, leaving the rest of your browsing session running smoothly.
