10 Reasons Why Chrome is Better Than All Other Browsers

Google chrome is one of the best things to have happened to the internet. It made sense to come up with the chrome browser as Google already controls a good amount of the web that can be accessed by normal users. What could be better than having a dedicated browser to browse pages that Google itself will show. The browser was launched in 2008.

Initially, the browser was made available for the Windows platform, but it was later ported to other platforms such as Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. There are many other internet browsers, but all of them seem to have some problem which annoys users. Chrome has always been supportive and comes up with features that are worth mentioning. Let us see the reasons that make Chrome a favorable browser despite so much competition.

Why Chrome is Better Than All Other Browsers

1. Simplicity

The chances are high that you must be reading this post on a chrome browser itself. The google chrome browser has a very clean and minimal design. It has almost no fluff, and instantly you get a feeling that you are into something that helps you search the web very easily. When it comes to other browsers, they have not taken the user in mind and instead focus on making money by showing useless ads. While Chrome has an interface that appeals to people of all age groups.

2. Speed

Most of the browsers can open pages very quickly, but what matters the most is when you open heavy pages that contain stuff that has too many graphics and flash ads or a video. Google chrome opens such pages very quickly, almost in a blink. You won’t find this speed of opening pages in any other browser. Opera is a good competitor, but it has ruined the user experience in the long run. So when it comes to speed and optimization, nothing comes close to Google Chrome.  

3. Security

Google has a lot of web-based products, and they have the best engineers by their side to control the internet and its services, which ensure that the updates to google chrome always carry security patches and bug fixes so that no malicious attempt is made to hamper the working of the browser. Other browsers have had a very poor record when it comes to updating the browser to tackle web attacks.

4. Appealing Apps

Google Chrome was one of the first browsers to have a dedicated store for buying stuff that could enrich the user experience. The chrome web store has tons of interesting things that are set to make things easy for you. There are loads of epic extensions and many other things as per your needs: some to track your usage, some to block ads, and whatnot. Any web-based developer would want to launch his app first at the google chrome store. It has apps that attract users.  

5. Platform Independent

Just like internet explorer or edge is available exclusively for the windows system. Chrome is not bound by anything like that. You can find Chrome for almost all the devices where you can browse the internet. Chrome browser can be downloaded for Android smartphones, Linux based systems, windows systems, and also on Mac OS systems. It is platform-independent. It has a wider reach because of which people love it.   

6. Market Share

Market share does not ever lie. If you look at the recent stats, you will find that Chrome is leading the market with 60% of the share, followed by other web browsers such as opera, safari, and firefox. The reason behind this could well be the trust that Google has instilled among the people, and also genuinely their product is way much better than the other browsers. Chrome has been there on the market since 2008, and any other web browser is yet to dethrone it from the title.

7. Quick Updates

With websites being made on new technologies and also sites carrying data that is only increasing, it becomes important for web browsers to have better compatibility. Google chrome is very nice in those terms. They roll out updates before anyone else does, and it helps users to have a butter-smooth experience of browsing the web. In other browsers, the updates do come, but they arrive too late, while in Chrome, they come first.

8. Easy Migration

Google Chrome has a great property of synchronization, which means if you are migrating from an old browser like internet explorer, then you can migrate the important stuff like your bookmarks. Also, the latest feature that has come is signing in your chrome browser, which has made accessibility even easier. Now you can carry your credentials like bookmarks and most visited sites with you. It is a more personalized experience now.

9. Extensions and Add-ons

Google Chrome was one of the first to support extensions. It later became like a marketplace where you could make extensions and then sell them. Other browsers do not have this facility because they have just one forte, which is to let the users browse the web. Chrome was among the first to make extensions that made the world know what all as an extra we can do with our browsers. There are tons of epic facilities such as Momentum and other exciting extensions.

Personally, we use extensions like Pocket to save links for offline reading, Alexa to check Alexa rank, Grammarly for writing, AdBlock Plus to block pop-ups/ads, Google Hangouts for chat, and many more.

10. Reboot Free Installation

In some browsers, when you install a particular extension or any other service than to make it run on the browser, you often need to reboot the whole browser or even sometimes the entire system. In Chrome, there is no such thing as a reboot for completing the installation. All you have to do is install, and without you having to get off the browser, you can begin using the web browser. It is very robust and has great compatibility.

Conclusion

There are tons of different browsers, and almost every browser has some of the other features that make it unique, but when you combine all the stuff that is important while browsing the web, then Google Chrome is a clear winner. Go ahead and browse the web with Chrome for the best experience.
