Google recently announced the launching of a new browser, Chrome. Being touted as “streamlined and simple”, the free web browser is available for download in many countries. Downloading and setup of the browser, currently available in beta, is simple and quick. Chrome is lightning fast, clean and straightforward.
Chrome Features:
- Interface - The interface is clean and simple.
- Omni Box - The new “Omni Box” is an area of Chrome that combines the traditional address bar and search box into one handy location. With Omni Box, users are able to search for information and type a website address in the same box.
- Bookmarks - Users can bookmark websites from the same area by clicking on the “star” icon
- Google Suggest – Another new feature that is included in the new browser is Google Suggest. As users type in a specific website address, Google Suggest automatically suggests related subjects, popular websites and websites that were previously visited.
- Tabbed Browsing – Handy movable tabs are included in the new browser.
- Click the “plus” sign in a tab or click “Ctrl-T” to open a new window
- Drag tabs to different locations.
- Pull tabs to make a new window.
- Another positive feature of Chrome is that each browser tab operates separately. If one tab crashes, that crash will not impact the other open tabs.
- By right clicking the top of Chrome, users can view the tab task manager, allowing users to view memory resources for each tab
