18 Best Google Chrome Themes to Try

Today’s post is a roundup of 15 nice Google chrome themes that you can use to customize how your search landing page looks like. Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that was first released in late 2008. The name Chrome was derived from the graphical user interface frame, or “chrome”, of web browsers. I must admit I used to be a loyal user of Mozilla Firefox but due to some technical problems I experienced with Mozilla’s latest version, I was forced to experiment with other browsers–which led me to Google Chrome. As of August 2011, Chrome has become the third most widely used browser with 23.16 percent worldwide usage share of web browsers, according to StatCounter.

What I like about Chrome, in addition to its speed, is its minimal design.
