I only use Google Chrome, occasionally Microsoft, but not enough to compare. > > I find myself utilizing Google Chrome on a consistent basis for personal and professional use. It comes in handy. ----- ### "Google Chrome is easy to use and its the browser I trust" — 5.0/5 > **Breanna** | *11 December 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've used it for years. It's just the most friendly. It's free. It works well, has alot of add-ons. I use it to browse the web and it performs quickly and without issue. Never needed customer support. It's easy to use and learn. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it remembers the passwords and other times i'm not sure why it does not. Can't think of any complaints. > > It's my go-to browser, extensions work great. Feels like the home of the internet for me. Never had any issues, ----- ### "My Updated Chrome Review" — 5.0/5 > **Adedotun** | *20 March 2026* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing I like the most about Chrome remains the ease of integrating it with other Google products. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, when you leave tabs open, they just refresh on their own after a while. I guess I just haven't discovered how to stop that, though, because there has to be a way. > > I'm still happy with Chrome. I use Edge sometimes, but Chrome remains my browser of choice. It's also added new features like Split View ----- ### "Was good but will avoid when able" — 2.0/5 > **Kyle** | *4 June 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: The original tab control was what made me come to this product over anything else. It was cutting edge > > **Cons**: The memory leaks that have now started to happen are causing computer crashes, as 1 tab is taking upwards of 40gb > > Negative overall, because having to fix memory leaks by rebooting the computer and losing progress on projects has been irritating ----- ### "Great web browser for anyone to use" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *30 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really like the ability to tie a Google/Gmail account to Chrome profiles so that your passwords, bookmarks, history, etc. sync across devices. Chrome overall seems to be the fastest, smoothest, and less clunky web browser available. If using Google Workspace, you can enforce managed browser which allows you to enforce Chrome GPOs to your end users. Very large Chrome marketplace of extensions to install. > > **Cons**: It's annoying that it's not natively installed on every operating system (Windows and macOS). Chrome is also notorious for eating up huge amounts of system RAM/memory. > > Chrome is a very good web browser available for windows and macOS devices. It works fast, runs smooth, and has a huge library of available extensions. For businesses its great because you can manage the browser and apply/enforce policies to allow or prevent end users from doing certain things or enabling certain settings. ----- Page: 1 / 87\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/226006/google-chrome?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/226006/google-chrome) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
