Googles New Chrome Browser

This is a late post on the new browser by Google, nevertheless something I must blog about. Chrome is FAST! Did I mention it's fast! Yeah it's supposedly built from the ground up for the new age of users. Rather then just building upon the browsers of the past and not fixing critically components that have changed since 1995. 

It looks as if Google clipped and pasted some of every one's favorite things from each browser and threw their label on it. However, they did manage to add a few nice concepts into the browser.

  • Use the address bar as your Google search field. That's right just search for a term in the address bar.
  • Add online applications as quick links on your Desktop, Start Menu, and Quick links bar. Just click on the quick link and it opens in a separate window .
  • Mini developer tools. They have a few on here, but I see this area growing rapidly within the browser tool set.
  • Provides geeky info from the address bar. Plug-ins, Memory usage, and other stats by using the about: configuration.
  • Google analytics tracks Chrome.
  • most visited link blocks
  • And sooo much more!!
