Google Chrome Web Browser (Beta) Released for Windows

So we have all been using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer lately, right? Well, I just made the switch to the new kid on the block, Chrome, from Google. Three words: Simple, Clean, Fast.

This is the fastest browser I have ever tested, it loads in an instant, and brings up web pages much faster than Firefox or Internet Explorer. Extensions we have grown to love in Firefox are not available in this browser yet, but my guess is they eventually will. Some of the cool features include:

One Box for Everything: Type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages.

Thumbnails of your top sites: Access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab (see photo)

Shortcuts for your apps: This is cool, you can create a desktop icon to launch your favorite website, such as Gmail, Facebook, or anything you want. It opens up in a clean window with no menus that makes it look like an application.

Incognito Mode: Open up a tab in Incognito mode and pages you view will not appear in your browser history or search history, and they wont leave cookies on your computer.
