GOOGLE CHROME

I talked to my friend, Karl, this morning. He asked me if I want to have something new to put on my blog. So, of course I said yes and asked what it is and he said WEB BROWSER that will be launch today... the GOOGLE CHROME browser.

And for me to know about it... he gave me a link. It's a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud. Through the comic - the features of the Google Chrome browser is seen.


+ Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser project.
This will be based on the existing rendering engine Webkit.

+ The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8
One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web today.

+ Google Chrome will use special tabs.
Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.







+ The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features.
Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular and more. [ just like firefox.. hehe ]

+ As a default homepage Chrome presents you with a kind of “speed dial” feature
[similar to Opera..]

On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs.











+ Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar.

+ To fight malware and phishing attempts, Chrome is constantly downloading lists of harmful sites.
Google also promises that whatever runs in a tab is sandboxed so that it won’t affect your machine and can be safely closed.

Cool! right?.... very interesting project. 've got to have it.
