Everything Google Chrome

CNET Downloads review CNET Downloads review

Chrome is Google's attempt to make the browser disappear and to focus on the applications and pages users are viewing, rather than on the border with its tools. Some of Chrome's basic underpinnings are quite novel, but users will recognize other features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today. Currently only for Windows, Chrome is blazingly fast and is easily the quickest browser available.
