Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a web browser built and designed by Google. Its main competitors are Apple's Safari and Mozilla Firefox. The Chrome web browser's primary feature is a simple interface that allows user to type in search queries in the search bar at the top of the window, where normally a web address would be plugged in. This, combined with a focus on speed and performance, helped to put Chrome up against other web browsers.

Impact on the Web
Perhaps Google Chrome's biggest advantage at the time, and still today, is the wide range of support and functionality of web-based applications. Chrome features myriad applications available for free to anyone who makes a Google account, and is able to synchronize content across devices. This syncing feature contributes greatly to Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, because the sharing and availability of personalized content for any user becomes available at almost any computer or mobile device. Chrome is the browser that most closely simulates what Web 3.0 will be like for a user.
