Google Chrome

Description

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world. It started as an open-source project called Chromium. It is still based on the original build. Although the browser was initially developed for desktop computers, it now supports mobile devices for iOS and Android.

Chrome is a fast browser that offers many useful features to make browsing the web easier. It leaves its competitors in the dust on many different performance tests and also has the highest security rating of mainstream browsers. Adobe Flash comes packaged with Chrome when you download it and also automatically updates with the browser for your convenience. Chrome has an automatic web page translation feature that allows you to view web pages created in different languages.

Google Chrome tracks what you do with it. Google collects a lot of data that is not intrusive, such as Chrome installation success, download locations, crash data, and frequency. They also collect everything you type into the address bar before you even hit return, which might be considered more intrusive. If you don't like this information collected, you can disable most of these in the settings for Chrome.

Google Chrome is a stable and efficient web browser, which has been able to defeat competing browsers in many benchmark tests. If you are looking for a browser that gets you where you need to go on the Internet quickly and efficiently, look no further. If you are uncomfortable with Google's user tracking, all you have to do is disable those features.

NOTE Chrome automatically updates to ensure you have the most recent version. There is no setting within the program to turn off automatic updates.
