    Chrome is super well-suited to people who use Android phones, have limited experience with internet browsers, are intimidated by new technology, and are other language learners or tech learners. Chrome is less well-suited to people who are highly experienced and have strong opinions about their browsers, and to those with greater integration with Apple or other non-Google systems.

    If you looking for a reliable, light weight and secure VPN server, than OpenVPN Access Server is the one. Easy to install and manage, OpenVPN will provide secure remote connections, with a very good integration with almost all LDAP directories, for user management. With my experience, I don't see any scenario that OpenVPN won't be able to handle.

    Cons
    Google
    • Alerting when bookmark links are broken
    • Better themes; there's great groundwork, but horribly barren and lack of quality options
    • Better tracking/security transparency with its users
    • Alert when cache slowing down performance, and quick navigation to clear this for the less tech-savvy.
    • Allowing file name edits within the quick-access download dropdown, without having to have this fully on or off, or having to navigate outside of Google Chrome
    • Embedded suggestion for quick-access extensions on homepage (with option to remove suggestions easily), for ad-blocking, accessibility, etc.

    • some times error logs are not clear
    • Configuring 3rd party apps can sometimes be problematic
    • Limited functionality for iPhone users, but I believe that is due to an apple issue.

    Usability
    Google
    As mentioned earlier, it is a worldwide standard. It matches both the Platforms - Windows and iOS. Pages load quickly, and the website's presentation is impeccable. It needs to seamlessly integrate Google Gemini into Google Chrome. Overall, I will give 10/10 to the designer of Google Chrome.

    Whatever console or firewall you are running OpenVPN Access Server, it's configuration is very easy to do. You can create multiple tunnels, with different pourposes and authetication methods. It also has a quick and easy view of the connections opened, with possible actions, such as a very efficient kill switch and reconnect options.

    Alternatives Considered
    Google
    Only Firefox comes close. Google Chrome is leaps and bounds above anything Microsoft has ever done in the browser space. Microsoft has lagged behind with Edge for years and continues to supply a subpar browsing experience. Google Chrome has the speed and the features to make it the best in the industry and it continues to go above and beyond where others do not keep up. With Gemini AI added, this will only continue to get better.

    OpenVPN had a better UI and usability for our team. It was more straightforward, had better SAML integration, and allowed our team to be on the VPN and on our network in seconds. We had some issues getting Nord to work for our use cases, and have run into pretty much zero issues with OpenVPN.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • Because Google Chrome is a tool that has it all our people dont have to switch in browser they can use only Google Chrome what saves time
    • Because of the single use of Google Chrome our Servicedesk has to just know one application and we get half the tickets if you got 2 standard browsers.
    • Because Google Chrome is owned by Google it automaticly is very secure what retuns means Google Chrome has a good security. Which lead to lower security incidents
