When it comes to streaming any kind of content - be it movies, television shows, music or podcasts - one of the first things that you need to consider is which web browser will be able to provide an enjoyable and uninterrupted streaming experience. People may not talk about it every day, but the web browser is arguably the most important tool for establishing a worry-free online experience.
Each web browser has its strengths and its weaknesses. For example, the Tor browser is unrivaled when it comes to protecting your privacy, keeping your online activity completely under wraps; however, this comes at the price of speed. If you love to stream video content, you will need a browser that can handle streaming megabits. You need a browser that is both rugged and durable - one that isn't going to crash under the megabits that streaming entails, but also will not slow down whatever else you may want to accomplish while you watch.
People generally believe that the two browsers, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, are both very good browsers. However, there is a lot of debate surrounding which one is better. People tend to have strong opinions about which one they prefer and will often swear by them regardless of the actual facts. Although one may not be objectively better than the other, people often favor it simply because they have different personal preferences.
That's just my guess, though. My instinct. Perhaps Chrome is somehow objectively better than Firefox. Or vice versa. There's only one way to find out, once and for all, right? We must take a scientific look at each one and decide, once and for all, which web browser wins the war. Let's start out by investigating Google Chrome today, see how it handles our streaming needs, shall we?
History
Although Google is a well-known technology company, its CEO, Eric Schmidt, was adamant about not developing a web browser. For six years he resisted any suggestion to consider developing one. He believed that Google was a small company and that they didn?t need to contend with thebrowser wars.
However, eventually, Google?s co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, hired several Mozilla Firefox developers into the Google fold. These Mozilla developers quickly built a running demonstration of what would wind up becoming Chrome. And, almost immediately, Schmidt admitted that the demo of Chrome ?was so good that it essentially forced me to change my mind.? Rumors of Google's super-secret web browser began spreading like wildfire in 2004.
The announcement of Chrome was delayed until September 2008 due to its secrecy. The Chrome comic book was released to journalists and bloggers in order to explain the technology and why it is better than the competition.
The browser, officially released on September 2nd, 2008, quickly acquired 1% of the total internet users. Over the years, Chrome has expanded to be compatible with all operating systems and is now arguably the most popular web browser. Today, Firefox is competing back and forth with Chrome.
Design
I have been a fan of the way Google Chrome is designed for almost a decade now. It feels very intuitive and user-friendly to me.
To open a new tab in Chrome, you can either press the "CTRL+T" key or click the "New Tab" button on the toolbar. Chrome has a well-organized structure for bookmarking sites, so you can easily archive them and rearrange their orders. If there's a site you visit often, simply put it at the top of your bookmarks list and Chrome will make an "icon" for it for easy access.
Type anything you want into the browser bar, which becomes the Google search bar. This makes navigating the internet easy, as it works with all of your Google accounts on all devices. It couldn't be any easier!
Content
Chrome offers a variety of add-ons, with new ones being developed every day. You can block ads and customize your web browser experience to fit your unique needs.
If you don't want to keep detailed records of your browsing history, you can activate Incognito mode. This will provide you with a little cloak of stealth while you browse. This isn't going to provide the same level of privacy as a VPN, but it certainly can't hurt.
This is a fantastic feature of Google Chrome - you can search something on your laptop and continue your search when you pick up your iPhone or Android device.
Desktop and Mobile Experience
Chrome is just as good on your computer as an app. In fact, if you are an iPhone user like me, I highly recommend that you switch to the Chrome app. You will not be disappointed, trust me? especially if you plan on downloading Chrome for your desktop computer. The streamlined experience is unparalleled.
Pricing and Plans
I think the best thing about Google Chrome is that it is free. There are no paywalls or blocks to contend with, and there are no ads to push away. Simply download Google Chrome today and start using the internet to its fullest potential - for free.
That being said, there are great extensions for Chrome that can get rid of a majority of the ads that plague your web browsing experience. Many of these are also free (with the option to upgrade).
Suggestions that I have for Google Chrome
: I would hope that Google Chrome would implement more hotkeys to make web browsing more immersive and convenient.
Overall, if you are looking for a dependable and fast web browser to make streaming your favorite movies, shows, and music easy as it should be, Google Chrome is the surefire way to go. It won't get overwhelmed and it can shoulder even simultaneous streams across multiple tabs. Add in the fact that you can pick up right where you left off when you leave your desktop computer and continue browsing on your phone and you may have just found yourself the perfect web browser, no matter what you primarily use it for.
We can not confidently say that Google Chrome has won the browser wars. However, it does stand a very good chance at taking the number one spot!
