I am back after quiet some time with my recent experience of chrome. This would be my first blog on technology. A day after a launch of Google's own browser I could not stop myself expressing just as I could not stop my laughter after a quick review. A journey which began with a search engine has now myriad of services (I purposely do not wish to use the term, product) for people and mind you all them are evolving. Period!!! I do not want to narrate a Google story here, what I want to do is present to people some great experiences that they would have with chrome (well I am not paid by Google for this!!!!).
The Chrome is true to its name. It has been painted over IE and many other browsers. Some distinctive features that are native to Google’s innovation, I believe most web users would love them and some must have browser feature. The reason behind my amusement or laughter though after having a glance of the product was the immediate realization that chrome (it is a beta version of Google’s browser released for WinXp and
Have u ever got livid while you had been presenting some solution to customer over browser and it crashed even before you had concluded? Well I had faced this over number of occasion. When I initially faced this I was furious so were my clients but then we all eventually learnt to live with it and exchanged the wily smile over this disastrous crash every now and then. Google has tried to fix this up (well it is initial days though I hope it is fixed, certainly looks at the face of it). The tabbed feature was first brought in by fire fox with its beta version, Microsoft as always immediately aped it in its entirety and launched the same feature in IE 7.0, it made a blunder though. It released the crashing version in the market. The tabbed browser are all memory hungry, these browsers have tightly bound all the tabs to single instance which means error in one of the tabs would lead to crashing of the browser. Fire fox has not mitigated this; however they gave their users with the option of restoring the session. Google had made a brave attempt to mitigate this problem. Every tab is its own instance tied to first instance (check the processes tab of task manager!!!). A rogue website might lead to single tab crash keeping all other instances kicking.
Do you wish to browse something and still not leave any trace? The incognito window does it for you. It does not log your browsing history, searching history and cookies. A word of caution from Google here as incognito might leave an other side of impression to consumer. This feature does not prevent the source website from picking up your information, so be wary of this. That kind of prevention might be a good step and actually a landmark step by Google. And the browsing history pages on the introductory window looks great.
The coolest one is here though, you dont have to google to find the link :) of any website that you donot know. Just key in few letters and link would come up in your address bar as though you had browsed it earlier. It resembles the history of your earlier browses.
These were some distinctive feature while the rest are same browsing experience as other. Oh! I missed the catchy line
"Dont miss the light and zippy chrome
As tool for your webby roam"
