3.Fewer Browser Crashes
The Tabs in Google Chrome are above the Address bar.While opening different Websites,scripts each tab will load simultaneously and independently.This reduces Memory Overhead and moreover a bug in one page will not cause the whole browser to Crash.
4.Reopen Closed tabs with a click
Sometimes you may accidentally close a webpage or a series of webpages.Firefox 3 lets you reopen them using the Undo option from the Menu bar.This process is much laborious.Chrome lets you handle it with one click.Just press Ctrl T and chrome shows you a list of Websites that you have closed recently.
5.Personalized Profiles for Security
Chrome Lets you set “private Modes” that makes it impossible for anyone to know what you surfed- No Cache,No history,No sessions.Lets you create Separate profiles for better and “Secured” Surfing.This will be a Doom to teenagers and “Porn enthusiasts”.
6.A personalized home Page
Chrome sets a personalized home page keeping the links of those sites that you visit the Most.This feature is automatic and you need no do any manual settings.Extremely time saving.
Also you can search history,Recent Bookmarks and Recently Closed Tabs right from the homepage.
7.See what you have visited in the last few Weeks.
History Bar in Google chrome
This is what i like the most.pressing Ctrl H opens the History tab where you have a full list ofwhat pages and sites you have visited in the past weeks.Earlier i used to bookmark random pages in case i need to See them after some days.Then i also had the overhead to clear my bookmarks.Chrome has made my life easier.It can remember history up to One Month.
