But the browser about which we will be talking will be Google Chrome because it is the most commonly used browser.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is the most commonly used browser by internet users all over the world. Not only because it is faster, but also because it is easier to use, and if still, somebody can’t use it, they (Google chrome) give a free tutorial to understand it and how to use it, which makes people feel more comfortable. The thing that attracts most of the Chrome users is its inbuilt two modes features; one is the simple default mode that uses user search-generated data/cookies stored in the browser for giving the best internet surfing experience. Whereas, the second mode is its personal ‘incognito mode’ that allows users to data privacy for their confidential internet searching. Also, it doesn’t keep your browser history intact, nor it saves your password/user codes for future use, thus, securing your online database.
