Google Chrome

The most used browser, made by an advertising company.

Benchmark review. Giants are reviewed rarely, to show what the tools in the directory are measured against. This one is not listed in the directory, and it is an example, not a recommendation. Scores are our opinion on the six questions, based on public sources and dated October 2026.

Chrome is fast, works with nearly every site and syncs across your devices, which is why Delivery is a 5. It is the most used browser in the world, and the company that makes it earns most of its money from advertising, so Power is a 1.

Chrome is built on the open source Chromium project, though Chrome itself is closed, and your bookmarks and history sync to a Google account. As of October 2026 this is our opinion, based on public sources, and if you spot an error, write to hello@toolsforconviviality.com and we will check it and correct it. Compare it with the tools in Browsers.
