Chrome - Web browser re-defined
12:44 PM
Chrome is a new web browser by Google.
Here is my 2 cents of first hand experience of the Beta version.
Browser is really fast.
Chrome is fast and difference is clear when you are using web based application built on AJAX and JavaScript.
Intuitive & Simple
Removes all unwanted Menu-bar and toolbar, the default view is link the full screen mode in Firefox without the auto-hiding of Address bar and tabs. Auto-hides status bar and displays status bar only hovered over a hyperlink. Single box for address bar, search field, bookmarks and web suggestions. Isolates each tab into a sand-box and prevents chrashing of browser due to a single non-responsive website.
Integrated the best of Firefox, Safari & Google toolbar.
Has got built-in spell check and dictionary like Firefox.
Highlights text box and other web component when active like Safari.
URL highlighting like Safari.
Work neat on Secure websites and prevents phishing.
Overall a neat and fast browser, very impressive results at Beta stage.
