There are many different kinds of browsers that you can use in the internet nowadays like Internet Explorer (in version 8.0 already), Mozilla Firefox (in version 3.0), the Netscape Navigator, the Safari browser (exclusive for Mac users) among others.
Did you know that Google joined the race in the development of a new browser? This open-sourced browser is called the Google Chrome and since the soft launching of it on 1 September 2008, many really appreciated the Chrome.
The Chrome’s new features are professional and clean. Every step that you click on the browser is very functional; it even has an incognito page where no trace can be seen of all the browsed pages made. The registry numbers and the cookies are not recorded as you are browsing through the incognito mode and the bookmarks are not stored in the said mode until you return to the original page. This is really a big difference indeed from the other browsers in the Internet.
But it seems that Google forgot one thing that is most especially important to bloggers like me. There is no Google toolbar yet that is available for Chrome and its feature of a page rank is what I really needed in the said toolbar. So what I do now to check the page rank of my blog and whatever blog I am browsing is still make use of Firefox. But overall I still much prefer Chrome aside from having all the feature of Internet Explorer and Firefox, it is almost five times faster than the two mentioned browsers combined.
You may try to click on a new tab in Chrome and you will be astounded at the screenshots you recently browsed is displayed in that page. If you like to go back to your favourite page, it will be not that difficult in addition to the latest bookmark that you made and imported from the pages of Firefox and Internet Explorer are also shown at the right column demonstrates the very organized Chrome.
Google Chrome is still in its beta version, but I can say it is good enough as it is able to handle HTML professionally and contents are gripped without any worries of having a crash mode and the concerns of stammering between words. And it is simple; the reason Google is fast enough for any one who will browse the new browser.
Another good feature of the web browser of Google is now made portable and is called Chromium.
All you have to do is unpack and run the entire program settings saved in the Chrome folder while the settings of the user go to the PROFILE folder. Some of the key features of the Chromium (Portable Google Chrome) are one box for everything, new tab page, application shortcuts, dynamic tabs, crash control, incognito mode, instant bookmarks, importing settings, safe browsing and simpler downloads.
Even if Google Chrome is not that original in terms of its features, Google Chrome is a browser with well-balanced features. So expect more updates of these open-sourced browser for the benefit of all.
