Google puts Chome on their main search page

Google has finally decided to start advertising their Chrome Web Browser on the homepage of Google. Until now the only people who knew about it were mostly the tech types. Now with them putting it on the homepage for all types of users to see, their userbase will diversify.

I do have the chrome browser but I rarely use it because they have no plugins for it, so I stay mostly with FireFox. That being said, Chrome IS the best browser I have ever used. Chrome is faster than Opera, more stable than FireFox or IE, it’s simply the best all around browser. Did I mention it’s fast? Very fast.

The quality of browsers, at least in my opinion is:

1. Chrome
2. Opera
3. FireFox
4. Internet Explorer

The reason I use FireFox when it’s just above IE as the best browser in terms of quality, speed, and stability is simple: plugins

I just can’t live without my FireFox plugins. The day Google lets Chrome have plugins is the day I will leave FireFox forever. So in case you’re wondering what plugins I use that I can’t live without and that force me to use a browser that’s only the 3rd best, here they are:

1. SEO Quake – A nice little plugin that shows me all sorts of information about a website under the Google Search results. example
2. @ NoFollow, Google PR, and Alexa ranking – A nice little plugin that tells me Alexa, PR, and NoFollow tags. example
   
3. AdBlock – This amazing plugin keeps me from seeing ads on any page I go to. That’s it, no ads, ever, on any website. Not only do ads slow down page load time but they are usually the source of nasty viruses and spyware. My life as a whole improved after installing AdBlock. Considering I make a nice bit of money each month on Google Adsense, it’s a bit hypocritical of me to use this plugin, oh well. I also wonder if Google would ever let such a plugin to be used on their browser, considering their entire company is based on online ads, I think the answer is no. If the choice is between using a subpar web browser(firefox) that has AdBlock or the best and fastest web browser (chrome) that doesn’t have AdBlock, I’ll go with FireFox any day.
