Google's Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web faster,safer and easier. It uses one box for everything. You type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages.Thumbnails of your top web sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab.Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorites Web applications straight from your desktop.Chrome is Google's attempt to make the browser disappear and to focus on the applications and pages users are viewing, rather than on the border with it's tools.Some of Chrome's basic underpinnings are quite novel, but people will recognize other features as they exit in other open-source browsers on the market today.More on Chrome
Currently, Chrome is only for Windows, but Chrome is blazingly fast and is easily the quickest browser available. The same open -source engine that powers Apple's Safari, Chrome's interface is a drastic departure from other browsers. Instead of the traditional toolbar, Chrome puts its tabs on top. Moreover, the tabs are detachable. Detached tabs can be dragged and dropped into the browser and tabs can be rearranged at any time. By isolating each tab's processes, when one site crashes, the browser does not. More on Windows
Within each tab are individual controls, such as forward and back buttons. The search box and the address bar have been fused into a hybrid. "Omnibox." The Omnibox includes not only sugestions for URLs culled from your browser's history, it also includes search suggestions from your search engine and remembers site-specific search engine results. There's also Application Shortcuts, a feature that allows you to create desktop icons for Web-only applications, such as Gmail or Calendar. The stealth mode, Incognito, lets you surf without the history recording cookies. More on the " Omnibox"
Chrome lacks plug-ins and there's the potential for high memory usage given that each tab is its own process. If you're addicted to Web apps and a need for speed, Chrome just might be the shine your browsing experience has been looking for.
