Google Chrome browser

It took us some time to warm up to Google's Chrome as a usable browser. Initially, many of the Web tools we used were not fully compatible, and its single address/search bar required an adjustment period.

Lately, however, it's become a must-have on any new laptop we unbox. That's largely because we've moved a significant portion of our writing to the cloud-based Google Docs, and that always feels a little faster in Chrome than in other browsers.
