Google Chrome

What's so cool about Chrome?

After many years of using the Internet, I have tried nearly all the different web browsers. From the likes of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and of course Google Chrome. There are a variety of options for digital citizens to browse the web. You may find yourself asking: what makes Google Chrome superior to its companions? What's all the hype about Chrome? Should I just bite the bullet and download it?

To make your decision a bit easier, here are some of the benefits that I have found from being a "Chrome crony."

Simplified surfing

- Searching the web is SO much easier with Chrome. The browser offers many different search filters to help you get the search results that you want. Search filters include: web, images, videos, apps, news, books, shopping, flights, and more. Google Scholar is an excellent tool that refines your search to academic articles, journals, and websites. 

Easily Customizable

- If you don't have a Google account, make one. Click here to sign up for Google. Once you've done this you will be able to customize your Chrome experience! I have my Chrome browser open up with tabs that I frequently visit (like my school's online gradebook and school district website). I also love to pin bookmarks to the Chrome browser so that I can easily access other websites that I view on a regular basis. Since I have a Google account, my browser shows me notifications for emails, messages, and more. 

One Stop Shop

- If you have a Google account, Chrome is the only way to go. Stop using Internet Explorer and Firefox. Why not open one application and see everything? Email, videos, documents, messages, pictures: Chrome has it all! I can open my Chrome and see everything I need and access great applications (Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Hangouts, etc.)
