Here is a post for the bloggers signifying the use of Google chrome with some useful chrome extensions for blogging.
Why Google Chrome?
Previously, I was a big fan of Firefox and performed blogging with it. But now, my favorite browser is Google chrome and enduring my work with some useful chrome extensions. You might ask “Why you migrate to Google Chrome from Firefox?”
Yes, here are the answers,
- Easy and prompt.
- Sleek and efficient interface with extensive extensions.
- Extensions run in a separate process and it does not affect the browser.
- Less security issues.
- No restarting required while installing and uninstalling an extension.
Like these, there are more innovative features of Google Chrome that stimulated me to switch over to it. I would like to carry on my discussion about useful chrome extension and applications for the bloggers.
