Chrome has many useful features built in, including automatic full-page translation and access to thousands of apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Use one box for everything–type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. You spend much of your time online inside a browser: when you search, chat, email, shop, bank, read the news, and watch videos online, you often do all this using a browser. The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer.
