One of the best known and most used browsers in the world is without a doubt Google Chrome. This browser is made up of a wide set of functions and features that differentiate it from the rest and as such it is available to be used on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, etc., which shows us its versatility. Some of the main features of Chrome are:
- Easy to sync Chrome across multiple devices where you're signed in
- Improved tabs feature with new options to use
- Allows you to use multiple profiles in one session
- Thousands of plugins available
