Uninstall your Firefox and Internet Explorer? Google Chrome is coming now

Posted by Andrew.

Google launched its browser product - Google Chrome in a beta version on Sep 02, 2008. Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. The beta version of Google Chrome, currently only in a version for Windows XP or Windows Vista, is available for download.

The 10 features of Google Chrome

1. One box for everything - Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs.

2. New Tab Page - Every time you open a new tab, you'll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages and closed tabs.

3. Shortcuts for your apps - Use web apps without opening your browser. Application shortcuts can directly load your favorite online apps.

4. Dynamic tabs - You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish -- quickly and easily.

5. Crash control - Every tab you're using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won't take anything else down.

6. Incognito mode - Don't want pages you visit to show up in your web history? Choose incognito mode for private browsing.

7. Safe browsing - Google Chrome warns you if you're about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website.

8. Instant bookmarks - Want to bookmark a web page? Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you're done.

9. Importing settings - When you switch to Google Chrome, you can pick up where you left off with all the bookmarks and passwords from your existing browser..

10. Simpler downloads - No intrusive download manager; you see your download's status at the bottom of your current window.
