Discover: The Superior Aspects of the Google Chrome Browser

Since the release of Google Chrome, I've been using it these past few days because of its fast speed and clean interface. However, I only use it as a supplementary browser since many extensions are missing, such as Google Bookmarks, which I frequently use. Therefore, Firefox remains my primary browser.

Today, while working on a webpage, I accidentally noticed that when viewing non-original-sized images in Google Chrome, there were no jagged edges that typically appear. I opened the same page in IE and Firefox for comparison, and the results in Google Chrome were surprisingly perfect. It’s truly impressive, but this isn't anything particularly exciting because IE is still the dominant browser.

I'm just wondering why Google Chrome can achieve this while the pioneers in browser technology didn’t think of it. Everyone can try comparing them personally to make sure I’m not mistaken. Hehe...
