[Year 12 IT Apps] Google Chrome.

[Adam Barbary]

I find that the lack of plugins at the moment make it next to useless  
for all but the simplest of pages. Try going to popular sites like  
Whirlpool, youtube, and The Age and check the formatting. I get the  
feeling that the only reason it is fast is because it isn't loading  
anything. I'm sure in time that support will improve and it will be a  
great browser. Until then, Opera rocks! ;)
