Angela: Hi, I'm Angela, and I am the owner of Closed Closets. I'm self-employed, and my company size is just me. Also, I would rate Google Chrome on a scale of one to five, I would definitely rate it a five or more, because it's been, I would say, the stepping stone, maybe even the thing that keeps my company together. It's been one of the best things I can hope for in being self-employed. Google Chrome is a daily thing for me, because I use it for everything. My job is solely based online, so if it was not for Google Chrome, I pretty much would be out of business. What I like most about Google Chrome is that there's so many different aspects to it. You don't only have to use it for work. You can use it for personal life, you can use it for your animal, you can use it for your gardens, you can use it for anything. Pretty much... Use it for anything, and I mean, who doesn't love that? What I dislike about Google Chrome, it's not much, but it's just the emails. Sometimes they get a little monotonous. Sometimes Google Chrome sends the same emails in different words repeatedly, and it can get a little annoying, honestly. But besides that, I really have no other problem with them. I love Google Chrome. I don't know what I'd do without it, honestly.
