Google Chrome is, at least in our opinion, the best web browser available. The insanely quick operating speed, the minimalist design, and the intuitive inner workings all suit a multi-tasking digital occupation. Above all, it just looks better and works better than anything else we have used on both a Mac and a PC.

As well, Google has spent their time solving problems we didn’t know we had, but now realize were bugging the heck out of us. For instance, if we accidentally close a tab – as we all often do – we can simply go into the menu and click recent tabs and open the same page up again. I’m sure Mozilla Firefox and Safari have similar options, but they simply aren’t as intuitive. Recently, a beta version of Chrome which was slowly rolled out in November has gone live. Now,  the sliders are all minimalist and sleek. Please try to keep from swooning.

Actually, the best part of the update is now you can see where that irritating autoplay commercial is coming from. Thanks to a little icon in the folder bar, you can tell which page among your myriad of open ones is playing a swiffer ad full blast. Beats searching for it or having to mute your entire computer. It can also tell you if a window is using your webcam or if a certain webpage is being broadcast to your TV, which we feel like is something you’d want to know.
