Google Chrome



Google Chrome is a free open-source web browser developed by Google.





What is Google Chrome?


When Google decided to make a browser, they wanted to completely rethink the browser, as browsing now is very different from browsing the early simple text web pages, now we email, shop, pay bills, and run other large application in our browsers.

New Features

Google Chrome is an early beta version, and at the moment, for Windows only, but it has some new smart features.

Google Chrome is running each tab isolated from another, which prevents one tab to crash another, and is also more secure, and better for the memory; when a tab is closed it's memory use is eliminated.

Google added a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, which will make large application perform better.

The start page offers new functionality, a bit like Opera, with your nine most visited web pages, a list of recently visited pages, your favorite search engines and more.

Because it is an open source project, new features will be added, and other browser developers can adopt what they find useful, in their browser.

Google Crome had listed its features in 5 parts
  • Stability, testing and multi-process Architecture.
  • Speed : Webkit and VB.
  • Searchand the User Experience.
  • Security and the User Experience.
  • Security, Sandboxing and Sale Browsing.
  • Gears , Standards and Open Source.

Google has made a comic book presenting Google Chrome:
