    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.

    At the price point this product sits at, it's well worth the additional layer of security. Surf shark isnt a security silver bullet, more of a additional security weapon to add to the arsenal and used properly, can augment and compliment your overall security posture. Using the search function when searching on sensitive subjects is helpful, using the site checker to ascertain for breaches is a valuble tool and the VPN is always on and is solid

    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.

    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.

    Product is great, but occasional issues with some sites. The user interface is clean and simple to navigate and work through. Making it fairly idiot proof is welcome for a techno novice like myself! All of the key tools are listed on the lefthand side and are easy to click through and activate/use

    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.

    Surfshark's VPN (Virtual Private Network) is simply better in every way than any of the competitors that we have used every time. This is the jewel in the crown of the product. With the tools such as the search function, site breach detection and other tools such as antivirus etc it makes it a compelling suite

    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
