Google's internet browser google chrome has become the best browser in the US by leaving the microsoft's Internet Explorer. Goole Chrome aims to be secure, fast, simple and stable.Chrome allows users to synchronize their bookmarks, history, and
settings across all devices with the browser installed by sending and
receiving data through a chosen Google Account, which in turn updates
all signed-in instances of Chrome.
According
to CBS News, a study by software maker Adobe Systems shows Chrome with
31.8% of the browser market, against 30.9% for IE and 25% for Apple's
Safari.
Google
has gained significant amount of share in PC market, and with their
large mobile presence they are strong in race to capture the mobile
market too. However,
many companies built internal web-based applications optimized for the
IE, but the growing popularity of Chrome could soon change this trend,
the report added.
How google chrome user interface looks like :
By default, the main user interface
includes back, forward, refresh/cancel and menu buttons. A home button
is not shown by default, but can be added through the Settings page to
take the user to the new tab page or a custom home page.
Tabs are the main component of Chrome's user interface and as such, have
been moved to the top of the window rather than below the controls. This
subtle change contrasts with many existing tabbed browsers which are
based on Windows
and contain tabs. Tabs, with their state, can be transferred seamlessly
between window containers by dragging. Each tab has its own set of
controls, including the Omnibox.
The Omnibox is a URL box
that combines the functions of both the address bar and search box. If a
user enters the URL of a site previously searched from, Chrome allows
pressing Tab to search the site again directly from the Omnibox.
When a user starts typing in the Omnibox, Chrome provides suggestions
for previously visited sites, popular
websites and popular searches.
One of Chrome's differentiating features is the New Tab Page, which can replace the browser home page and is displayed when a new tab is created.
What makes Google Chrome different is its architecture :
One advantage is that when you close a tab, you are virtually
terminating the process. This seams to have some interesting
implications on the security of the browser. If you corrupt the tab’s
memspace then you will crash only that particular process. The browser
and all other tabs should continue working just fine like nothing ever
has happened.
Google Chrome also implements a new privacy feature. They call it
incognito. Basically if you browse while being in incognito mode,
nothing ever gets logged.
Another interesting feature which I need to mention is that popups are
not blocked but they open in a minimized window. If you want to see them
you just drag the popup icon and there you go. However this may be
abused.
- It has a very simple design, which allows us to browse faster than any internet browser out there.
- In Google Chrome, you can get anywhere on the Web with one box. The
address bar that sits at the top of the normal Google Chrome window
simplifies your Internet experience by doubling as a search box. You can
also use it to bookmark websites and stay aware about the security of a
website.
- A site crash on one tab will not cause the browser to crash. This is
because google chrome is multi-threaded process. Each tab is a separate
thread with its own memory space.
