Why I Switched to Google Chrome


For the past year I have straddled the fence between Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, but this summer I decided to stop the fickleness and bravely commit to being a Google Chrome user all the way.  I have not looked back!  Here are some of the reasons my browser of choice will stay Google Chrome:


1.  The Omnibox: type a URL or a search term into the same box
2.  YouTube extensions: Clea.nr YouTube is a good choice for education.  Here is a screen shot: 




You can also add an extension that will allow you to download YouTube videos with a click of a button from within YouTube.

3.  Google Chrome iPad App that syncs tabs with Desktop App
4.  Voice search on Google Chrome iPad App
5.  Save to Kindle extension: save a web page right to your Kindle
6.  Text to Speech:  Have almost any web content read in your choice of 
     speeds and voices (Australian, anyone?)
7.  Invisiblehand:  Works in the background to find cheaper prices when you 
    are shopping on the internet.
8.  Google Chrome plays nice with Google Apps!


That is just a start.  Please sure your favorite Chrome extensions.
