Computing fans who have recently bought a new netbook should try using the Google Chrome internet browser, according to an expert.
Joanna Stern, writing for LaptopMag.com, said that the programme is the “perfect” modern-day browser for a netbook.
She added that most netbooks running Microsoft Windows XP are packaged with Internet Explorer 6, which is now more than two years old.
“Download Google Chrome, the perfect modern-day browser for a netbook. Not only does it boast good memory management, but since it recognises each web page as a different process, if one site freezes, you don’t have to restart the entire browser,” she commented.
She also said that by pressing Ctrl and + users can enlarge text, making it ideal for netbook reading.
Other advantages of using Google Chrome on a netbook include being able to add themes and colour to a desktop by brightening up the programme with fresh designs.
