Google Chromium

Google is going to take over the Internet, or at least it’s going to try. Here are 10 reasons why it seems like Google will take over Cyberspace:

• It’s got faster searching

• It’s branding is growing even more than it was in the past

• People are ready for a better browser

• Google knows that they can continue doing what they do because of the technology they’ve acquired

• No one seems to be able to resist the lure of Googling themselves and others

• The browser is moving its way toward an OS

• A Google-branded life is coming

• Google is great at wooing consumers and keeping them happy

• No more lock-ups because a rogue tab or program caused a problem

• It’s not afraid to borrow from its competitors

Chrome is good, but it could be better. It needs more applications. Not that it doesn’t have any, but only that it could use a few more. Right now, the applications that Chrome runs don’t really run that much better than they do in any other browser, and Chrome needs something like that to help it move forward and take over more market share.

Chrome needs to stop Flash from hogging up all your CPU resources. It also needs to run better with YouTube, because right now it runs way too slowly for a browser that’s supposed to be fast.

In addition, it needs Flashblock, so that you can have a lot of tabs open and continue to do what you need to do with your computer without it slowing down and locking up because something you aren’t even paying attention to messed your computer up.

So, a lot of people are wondering whether Google Chrome is really worth all of the hype out there about it. In order to help you decide, here are fifteen things you should know about it:

• It’s really, really, really fast

• It goes through HTML code a lot faster and easier than most browsers do

• You can go incognito and keep people from seeing your browsing history

• It’s easy to switch to

• The start page is actually intelligent

• It has its own task manager

• You can drag tabs out and back in again

• It’s based on WebKit, which also powers some other browsers

• There are no plans to make a version for Linux

• The minimalistic design means you don’t get a bunch of clutter

• It’s already taken Opera’s market share in two days

• A version for Mac will be coming out

• A version for iPhone will be coming soon

• It’s got a serious security bug where Java is concerned

• It just might rival IE, even in its beta form

The Chrome browser came about out of frustration. Google had long been a supporter of Firefox, but they also took over Android and launched that browser in August. Despite those options, they still didn’t have everything that they needed and they knew that Internet users were demanding more and more of their operating systems and their browsers.

With that being the case, Google decided to start from scratch and build a new browser – one that was simplistic and easy to use but that still offered everything that a person could want in their search.

By doing this, Google was able to get a lot of market share very quickly and ensure that they would be able to branch out into other areas without compromising their quality and integrity. The only thing that remains is to see where they go next.

Some people have speculated that Google might have launched Chrome as the first step to creating their own operating system. After all, the company is big enough, and they have the know-how and the technology to pretty much do whatever they want. But are they really interested in their own OS?

Maybe, but not in the same way that Microsoft is, for example. Instead, they just seemed to tire of waiting for the applications and the options that they wanted in Firefox even though they were a great supporter of it.

By building their own platform they can have just what they want and not have to wait for anyone else to create it. In the meantime, they also gain a huge amount of market share.

Opera was a trendsetter. You could tell that people worked on it very hard for a very long time, and in just a couple of days it was essentially kicked to the curb.

Google’s Chrome captured more market share than Opera ever had. How sad for Opera; how great for Google. Opera had a ton of features and a sidebar that offered so much to the user.

Chrome doesn’t even have that. It’s very minimalist and simplistic. It seems that a lot of people like that, however, because it became wildly popular in the space of about ten minutes. It doesn’t seem like it will take over from Firefox or IE, but it looks like it’s here to stay and like it will keep other, smaller browsers from making much headway in the market.

Themes have already been made for Google Chrome, despite the fact that it’s only been out and about – in beta – for a few days. These themes can be downloaded for free.

Just be careful where you get them from because there are always unscrupulous people out there trying to get something for nothing or trying to do things that they shouldn’t be doing in order to cause problems for other people.

In short, hackers are around, and they can put viruses and other problematic programs into themes just as easily as they can put them into other programs, so be aware of where you get your themes from.

Yes it is faster. At least, most people seem to think it is. Of course, it depends on who you ask and what you’re trying to do with it.

For videos, there are still problems. It’s slower than many other browsers when it comes to things like YouTube, and it also doesn’t have support for Java. Despite these things, it’s faster for regular browsing and many other choices that people make on the Internet.

A lot of people like it better, and if they don’t need to download or play a lot of videos then they shouldn’t mind the slowdown in that area. When it comes to all other aspects of the Internet, Chrome beats IE and Firefox, sometimes by a little bit, but often by a lot.

While Google Chrome is a great browser – especially for just being a beta version – there are still some problems with it.

For one thing, once you get to the bottom of the page you can’t scroll up. You have to grab the scrollbar manually instead of using the touchpad scroll option. Also, photos can’t be uploaded from Chrome to Google groups, and you get an error message when you try to do this. These are relatively minor things and they’ll certainly be fixed, but they’re still aggravating.

Another problem with Chrome, one that’s a little more serious, is that there’s a big bug where security is concerned, and could let a crafty hacker open and run Java programs through someone else’s computer on a simple download. That’ll be the bug that gets fixed first.

Probably not. Sure, it works well. Sure, it’s fast and it’s supposed to be more secure. In spite of all that, though, IE has a pretty solid foundation. It’s generally seen as the browser of choice, even with Firefox and some other browsers on the scene.

With that being the case, and with other options out there as well, it would be very difficult for one browser – especially a new one – to completely take over from IE. This is definitely true with IE having such a large market share and being so popular.

All the bugs have been worked out of it, and the people who use it know that they don’t have to worry about that. But it still crashes, and it still runs slow, and it’s still got issues that just won’t ever completely go away. So there will definitely be some people who will make the switch and not come back.
