    "Excellent Browser"

    April 26, 2012  |   By designerboy

    Pros

    Displays pages very well, many looking better in chrome than IE9 or Firefox
    Fast, reasonably reliable, no worse than firefox or IE9
    Spell checker - BRILLIANT
    Adblock - See cats on april fools?? awesome!

    Cons

    Does crash if you do not update your java and flash players
    Stable since updates though
    Seems to display everything bigger than other browsers as default (100% zoom)
    Not really a con I guess but worth mentioning

    Summary

    Very impressed, switched to this when IE8 was released. Never looked back. The features on this browser put it ahead of the competition. IE9 is faster however this is only true with all add ins disabled and does not have as many features at present.

    Thoroughly recommend Google Chrome. Lets hope it stays this good when HTML5 is properly implemented.
