Google Chrome: Pros and Cons
When the hype around Google Chrome has subsided a bit, it's time to take stock. Should I install this browser right now and constantly use it? Infoworld magazine has published a fairly objective analysis of the pros and cons.
So let's start with the positive.
1. It does not collapse.
More precisely, in the future it will not collapse. As you know, now Chrome can be “filled up” with one taboo, but this, of course, will be corrected to the official release. In principle, the Google Chrome architecture provides for independent execution of processes.

2. He is really fast.
Again, thanks to independent processes, one slow site / script does not affect the rendering in other tabs. Everything starts very quickly.
3. You do not notice it.
Chrome's design is specifically "sharpened" to ensure that the browser was invisible. Its task is to run applications like the operating system on the desktop. It should be invisible. No logos and big buttons.
4. It facilitates the search.
One of the great features is Omnibox, a multi-purpose bar, with which you can run a search on any site without even downloading this site.
5. Control of tabs.
Chrome gives new impetus to the concept of tabs. You can drag them to a new window, configure them for autorun, etc.
6. Start page.
By default, Chrome comes with a dynamic start page. As you work, the browser examines your habits and adjusts it for you by placing snapshots of the most frequently visited sites, search engine windows, and so on.
7. It saves your incognito.
Like the latest beta of IE8, Chrome has a mode of absolute anonymity when there are no traces of your surfing on your computer.
However, there is a downside. Here are seven arguments against using a new browser.
1. This is only the first beta.
Of course, in the near future there will be a lot of problems.
2. No extensions.
Chrome does not yet support extensions and plugins, which is unthinkable for Firefox fans.
3. No sync.
One big plus of Firefox is the ability to sync different computers via Mozilla Weave, so browsers will be absolutely identical on all your computers. There is no such thing.
4. Nonstandard rendering.
Although Chrome passes the Acid3 tests perfectly, but de facto most of the sites were created for specific existing browsers, and under Chrome no one checked them, so some sites do not look very good in the new browser.
5. The power of advertisers.
The Chrome browser really monitors the user as closely as any browser before it. How is this information used?
6. No drop-down menu in the address bar.
The usual many menus with a list of visited URLs, which is called up with one click of the mouse, are absent here.
7. The lack of history.
The History option in Chrome is not as functional as Firefox.
So let's start with the positive.
