Google Chrome New Features
Google’s new web browser Chrome hits the internet today and Google is now even better positioned to take over the world. I just downloaded the browser and will be learning about its features today, but here is a breakdown of what those new features are:
New Tab Page
A small plus sign gets you a new tab that will show you your most recent visits, recently bookmarked sites, etc.
Application Shortcuts
Open web apps such as GMail write from your desktop without opening your browser. This is really a cool feature and it saves your passwords so accessing your Gmail is now a double click on your desktop. Nice. Dynamic Tabs This is similar to Firefox where you can drag the url right down to your browser tool bar. Crash Control This will probably be one of my favorite features. If your browser crashed Google Chrome will only have to close the tab you are browsing instead of the entire browser. Incognito Mode
If you want to be stealthy while browsing the web and leave no trace of where you’ve been or what you’ve been up to try this new incognito feature. Safe Browsing Google Chrome will alert you if you’ve arrived at a site that may have a malicious intention. (phishing, malware, etc)
Instant Bookmarking All you have to do is click on the star to the right of the toolbar and voila you are bookmarked! Import Settings
All of your bookmarks, passwords, browsing history and settings will be imported to Google Chrome at the time you download it. Simple Downloading No more download manager window. The download status will be displayed at the bottom of the window. The other cool feature is that when you are using Google chrome the Google search box is chrome.
So far so good Google. What’s missing…Home button and lots of awesome FF plug-ins.
