Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers in use today. As per Statista, it makes up 66.39 % of the global market share for internet browsers. There are many reasons why users prefer Chrome over other options: speed, convenience, and flexibility being some of them. Google services as a whole operate as one unit; for example, Google Docs, Gmail, YouTube, Drive, and many others are interlinked between desktop and mobile, which makes the process of transferring information simple, fast, and reliable.

There are thousands of extensions available for Chrome right now, making it more versatile than other browsers out there. Even though Chrome uses a large amount of ram, the speed and design elements mostly make up for it, its smooth and seamless transitions let the user focus more on their work rather than the loading speed, but the competition is starting to catch up slowly. Chrome OS already comes pre-installed with the Google browser; read down below on how to download chrome on other devices.
