After reading up a good amount on Google chrome and testing it out for myself, I am fairly confident the new challenger browser Google Chrome will come out on top.

Google Chrome is a browser designed for the web of today, the web with many web applications, java, and flash and imbedded video around every corner and tucked away into the back end of most web sites. One feature that goes along with this principle is how each tab for Google chrome runs on its own process. Because of this if one tab fails, and locks up, your other tabs will be unaffected. When typing an important email on the web or transferring money electronically your entire browser locking up can be a very unpleasant thing.

The GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Google Chrome is very simple and too the point, generally anything you want to find is very intuitive and easy to locate as far as settings and customizations go. And as it is open source, which was a wise move on the part of Google, there are sure to be a multitude of customizations for any sort of feature you would like Google Chrome to have that it doesn't have al ready.

Security is another issue that is built into the foundation of Google Chrome. As the tabs run on their own processes, any sort of malware trying access your pc or the rest of your browser will be locked inside that tab and will disappear once that tab is closed. The tabs themselves can read information and compute but can't alter the rest of your browser, or write files to your system. Google Chrome will also alert you when it encounters a site that it perceives as possibly harmful to your system, such as a such trying to install malware or using phishing.

So there you have a basic description of some of the features of Google Chrome. The browser is currently in BETA, though the opinion of this humble blogger is that it will shape up to be powerful and secure browser for the web of the future.
