Getting to know Google Chrome

Thursday March 5, 2009

Google Chrome adds a slight twist to downloading files. You can see a listing, organized by date, of the files you've downloaded and access this page from the Options or the bottom of the browser window. Downloads show up in the lower-left hand corner and you can launch the program file right from this location. Set a default place to store downloaded files, or select a new place each time.
