I use it daily on my computer and my phone. It is a secure search and always brings up the main important websites and enables me to use google as my default search engine. > > **Cons**: I don't have anything bad to say about it because it has been the best browser I have used compared to others > > Amazing. I use google as my default search engine in chrome and it always brings up the most relevant sites in my web searches. It shows the websites quickly with no lagging and has minimal distractions on screen. It enables me to bookmark tabs and add browser extensions. ----- ### "Good search engine, but not sure how it can compete with direct AI" — 4.0/5 > **Juliet** | *19 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is fast and I like that they update it with things like Google lens and tab groups (as I always have numerous tabs open) > > **Cons**: The search results are no longer as good. Everyone has been trying to use SEO to get to the top and, as a result, the websites with the real value are not displayed. > > Good, fast search engine, but results have decreased in quality. I have started to move towards using AI to answer questions as the results are better and it is faster than search through content that is not always high quality. ----- ### "Super convenient and fast, just hard on my battery\!" — 4.0/5 > **Entela** | *31 May 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I love most is definitely the seamless synchronization. I’m constantly switching between my work Mac, my iPhone, and my laptop at home. Being able to instantly access all my open tabs, history, and saved passwords without lifting a finger is a total lifesaver. It’s fast, fluid, and makes managing my daily routine so much easier. > > **Cons**: If I had to pick one thing, it’s definitely how much memory and battery it drains. If I keep too many tabs open while working, my laptop fan starts sounding like a jet engine and the battery percentage drops fast. It’s a great browser, but it can be a real resource hog\! > > Overall, my experience has been really great. It’s my absolute go-to browser because it just makes my life easier. The best part is how it keeps my whole life connected, I can open a recipe on my phone while grocery shopping and find it waiting on my laptop when I get home. It’s super fast, easy to use, and reliable. My only real complaint is that it eats up my laptop’s battery way too fast when I have too many tabs open. But honestly, the convenience outweighs the battery drain. I can't see myself switching to anything else\! ----- ### "Fast, Reliable, and User-Friendly Web Browser" — 5.0/5 > **Piyusha** | *16 June 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Google Chrome is its speed, simplicity, and seamless browsing experience. The browser is easy to learn and use, making it suitable for users of all experience levels. Pages load quickly, and performance remains consistent even when working with multiple tabs and web applications. I also appreciate the synchronization features that allow bookmarks, passwords, history, and settings to be accessed across devices. The browser offers excellent page management through tab groups and organizational tools. In addition, the vast extension library enhances productivity and allows users to customize their browsing experience, including adding VPN functionality when needed. Considering its performance and features, Chrome provides exceptional value for a free browser. > > **Cons**: One aspect I liked least about Google Chrome is its relatively high memory and resource usage, particularly when many tabs or extensions are open. This can affect system performance on older devices. Customer support is limited for regular users since most assistance is provided through online resources and community forums. While VPN extensions are available, the lack of a fully integrated VPN feature may be a disadvantage for users seeking built-in privacy tools. Occasionally, browser updates can introduce minor bugs or compatibility issues, although these are usually resolved quickly through subsequent updates. > > My overall experience with Google Chrome has been extremely positive. It has consistently delivered fast, reliable, and secure web browsing across multiple devices. The browser’s intuitive design, excellent performance, and extensive extension ecosystem make it suitable for both casual browsing and professional work. I particularly value the synchronization capabilities and the ability to manage tabs, bookmarks, and settings seamlessly. Although memory consumption can sometimes be higher than expected, the overall speed, stability, and ease of use make Google Chrome one of the best web browsers available today. ----- ### "Language remove option does not work" — 1.0/5 > **Anne** | *1 October 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The number of choices you have with what you want to do with a website you have opened. It also seemed to give better seafrch results. > > **Cons**: Will not let you change language preferences. Suddenly every website that I open is opening in Azerbaijani. I have gone to settings and removed Azerbaijani as a preferred language. When I check it has returned. The only way to see my pages in English is to use translate. Additionally, I cannot remove it and do a reinstall. It is working fine on my Samsung phone but not on my tablet. It is making me crazy and the Chrome websites are not any help. > > Right now, I would say "horrible." I contacted Chrome and receivetd no reply. The browser settings do not seem to be amenable to changes. ----- Page: 1 / 87\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1012057/chrome?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1012057/chrome) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
