Why use Google Chrome and how do you install it?

Reasons to use Google Chrome:

1. It works great with the Google Apps.
2. It is faster than Internet Explorer.
3. So far I haven’t had any website ask me to install a toolbar to Chrome, so you shouldn't end up with a thousand unwanted toolbars.
4. You can many "add ons" that help with using google apps and other websites

Problems with Google Chrome:

1. There are some website that just don’t operate the same.
1. Example:  Playing sound in the School Reach Program.
2. However if you install the IE Multi Tabs extension this should solve that problem.

2. Click the “Download Google Chrome” button
3. Click the “Accept and install” button.
4. The install with then start.
5. Somewhere during the process it will ask you if you want to make it your default browser.  You can say yes or no, it is up to you.  I chose yes.
6. When it is done installing you should now have a new icon on your desktop that looks like this.
1. Note that if you don't see the "Beach Ball" icon then you are not using Chrome and that you are still using Internet Explorer or some other browser.
