1. It’s fast.
Chrome is by far the fastest browser available right now. It’s quick to launch, and loads pages a lot faster than Firefox and Internet Explorer.
2. It has extensions
The lack of extensions was one of the major complaints from Firefox users that were tentative about switching to Chrome. However, now as of Chrome 3.0 extensions are enabled. While the library of add-ons isn’t as vast as Firefox’s, it has the major extensions like Adblock, Youtube downloaders, and Flash blockers.
3. Bookmark Bar
I absolutely love the bookmark bar on Chrome. It is configurable to show only icons, and the bar itself doesn’t take up much room on the browser. Having half the screen taken up by the toolbars and other things can get extremely annoying. Chrome’s minimalist approach prevents this.
4. The Omnibar
Websites, popular search results, and google search all in one is what makes the address bar in Chrome better than any of its competitors. Being able to perform a Google search while on any page saves a lot of time and is extremely convenient and leads me into my next point.
5. Search within websites
Say you want to search Youtube. In a normal browser, that means going to youtube’s site, then searching. Well, in Chrome, you can type the URL of a website into the address bar and if the site has Google search enabled on their site, you can hit tab and search the website for what you’re looking for without having to load that intermediate page.
