Google Chrome is now my browser of choice
Well, at least I gave Internet Explorer 8 a chance.
After 2 months living as a Microsoft fanboy, I’m going back to using Google Chrome as my default web browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is simply way too bloated with all of Microsoft’s proprietary “features”. While some of the features of IE 8 looked possibly useful, they were also distracting. Microsoft is simply trying too hard to keep their client software relevant, when people today want everything to be hosted, like the way Google does things.
I’ve also used Firefox for a couple years, but even that was starting to feel clunky. Don’t get me wrong — Firefox is a great web browser and I’m sure many people would prefer it over Chrome because of its customizability, but Chrome just has a more simple and streamlined interface that doesn’t distract users from the web pages they’re browsing.
Ultimately, it’s all about the user experience when browsing. Web browsers have come a long way and every one of the major web browsers are pretty good at what they do, but each one presents the web with a different frame. For me, I really like the speed and undistracting simplicity of Chrome.
You know, Google is going to take over the world…
