google chrome os chrome news Google Chrome Preloaded on Dell and Sony Computers and Laptops ?

google chrome laptop

The first thing firefox users do when they get a new windows computer or laptop is, to open Internet Explorer and download their friendly firefox. IE was the only browser preloaded on windows. For us Google Chrome users, things will be different, very soon.

Next time when you purchase Dell or a Sony Vaio, you may find Google Chrome already installed on your computer. This is because Google has a deal with these companies, to distribute their browser pre- loaded on their laptops or computers.

Is This Really New ?

Not really, at least the strategy is not. Google already have deals with Dell computers to distribute Google Toolbar on their computers, making Google the default search engine for their users. Now that Microsoft is trying similar methods with HP to make Bing the next big thing, Google has started playing their game too.

They already have a deal with Sony, to make Google Chrome default browser for their Vaio series computers. Since Sony vaio series is something with a very small market share, we should expect something bigger very soon. Let’s say, if this deal works out well. Since the deal with Dell for toolbars is due anytime soon, there could be a new deal for chrome .. what you think ?

Was the Sony Deal just an experiment of some sort ? Is something bigger on its way ?

This is Why Google Chrome Does not Support Google Toolbar

by Dinu

I found many people searching for google toolbar support for google chrome, and wondering why, it is not added to google chrome yet, both being Google’s projects and very popular at that.

New Here ? Read This Newbies Guide that will make master on Google Chrome in 10 minutes !

However, Google Is Bringing a lot of feature of Google Toolbar to Chrome by default.  Very soon, we will have the translation inbuilt to chrome via a Translation Bar and for others, there are official extensions available. Click here to find the full list. You can try this extension too

I also had no idea why this is so. But when I was uninstalling Google Toolbar from firefox, I kinda figured out why it is not there on Chrome yet.

Fact that we all know : We love the simple layout of Google Chrome for many reasons, and the most important reason : It gives more screen space. Google Chrome is designed to give you a better browsing experience, as far as space is concerned, and they have done this very well, and that does not come very easily … I am sure they have worked very hard on this.

general This is Why Google Chrome Does not Support Google Toolbar

Toolbar Chrome

If you have noticed, when Extensions are enabled, Google Chrome will not let them take more space from your screen area, that’s how they are making the extensions work too.

All this hard work, and they add Google Tool Bar to Chrome … then it will look a MESS !!

because it consumes so much from the screenspace… correct people ? Well, that should be the reason for Chrome still being away from Google Toolbar.

What Makes Me Think This Way

When you uninstall Google Toolbar on Firefox, you are supposed to tell them why you are doing that,  a feedback . And one among the most common reasons listed for you to select from is, ” It’s Taking My Screen Space” ( or something similar ? ). So, I would say, Google have enough feedback from toolbar users ( who uninstalled it ?  ) stating that they don’t want the google toolbar to take up more space.

So, in the current format, it’s not wise to add Google Toolbar to Chrome … what you think ?

Is Google Chrome Better than Firefox ?

Is google chrome better than firefox, or is there enough potential in google chrome to grow up to , or above, firefox ? That’s is a tricky question for a Google Chrome fan like me. Because, I love google chrome, and use it most of the times. But, being relatively new, it has its own limitations, I can’t stop agreeing on that.
