| − | '''Chrome''' is a proprietary [[browsers|web browser]] developed by Google, based on the open source [[Chromium]] project. Chrome's main selling point is its blazing fast speed, in terms of page rendering as well as its JavaScript engine, but in recent years other browsers have caught up to and/or exceeded its speed. Chrome is usually semi-jokingly referred to as a [[botnet]], because it sends an unusually high amount of data back to Google. In the spring of 2014, it was also revealed that some developers of Chrome extensions were selling their creations to malware peddlers, leading to further distrust of the browser in general.
