Tested the New Google Chrome Browser
Hey Guys
I have checked out and used the new Google Chrome browser. It's true, its lightning quick. I tested on my washed up old Proline laptop and it was flying.
I must admit i was a bit worried when i knew there was going to be a new browser. Another headache for a web developer | designer, but testing out my pages etc, it all seems fine.
The Google Chrome browser looks very simple and basic, but has really all the functions you need.
