Google Chrome, an open source browser from Google, became available for downloads today. It must be just a few minutes past the moment that I noticed a link on Google search page and downloaded the brand new browser.
Here are some of the key differentiators :
- Its based on the theme which Google does the best .. Search!!
- Browser has a combined search and address bar. Browser starts suggesting possible addresses as user starts entering web links or search strings.
- Each new tab that opens on the browser provides a snapshot of most visited sites, book marks and recent searches.
- User can search the browsing history instead of looking for it in the drop-down list. Also, users can use incognito window for private browsing where no browsing history is registered.
- The tabs on the parent browser window can be pulled in and out to form separate windows or tab groups.
- Each browser tab works as an independent process which means that if a site crashes on one tab, it would leave rest of the tabs intact while bringing down the tab on which a site crashed !!
- The browser has softness of Apple's Safari and a punch on Mozilla's Firefox. It can inherits the configuration from the installed browser.
Here is some more info of interest ....
- Its an open source browser !
- It uses components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox.
- Beta released is for windows, Mac and Linux versions would gradually follow
- Its build over V8, a more powerful java script engine!
With a simple yet winning look and feel, its a browser that you would certainly like to try and decide like other Google products.
