Google Chrome

 

After winning the war of the 'searches' google is all set a make a benchmark in the war of the browsers, and yeah we all can expect it to be a trend setter here too.

Google had been supporting Firefox all these years against Internet Explorer and others, but since google has dreams to dominate the web fraternity, it introduced its own browser Google 'Chrome' with some really cool features.

Lets have a look at Chrome's features-

Tabbed Browsing: 

It has given a new way of tabbed browsing as now you can shift a tab from one position to another while you can see a thumbnail of the same site that you are moving.You can also regroup the tabs and the coolest thing is that you can move all the tabs to the top of the screen.

Memory Control through 'Task Manager': 

Yes,now you can know, how much memory each tab is taking and close any tab which you think is taking unnecessary memory by right clicking on the blue bar at the top and then select 'Task Manager', a cool feature which is similar to the Windows Task Manager feature.

Safe Browsing through 'Incognito Window':  

When you choose the 'New Incognito Window' option, a new window gets opened which allows you to browse without leaving traces and history by deleting the cookies of the sites that you visit through this window but there are certains conditions which u have to abide by, u can view them in the image below:

Address Bar Cum Search Bar Cum History Viewer: 

When you type any text in the Address Bar, it gives you suggestions of the sites that you have visited, all the searches that u have made and displays your browsing history, in short the address bar is an all in one pack and this feature is quite similar to Firefox.

Don't be afraid of the 'Crashes': 

Now you need not to be afraid if any of your tab has crashed because in Chrome, every tab runs independently so even if a tab gets crashed other tabs arent affected.Personaly i feel this is,by far the best feature any brower can have cuz its a common problem in the browsers that even if a single tab gets crashed, the whole window gets closed which is quite frustating.

Though Chrome has impressed me with its whole look and some unique features, there are things that i didnt liked about it:

If you visit a site having animations and flash files, chrome starts slowing down and makes u feel irritated about it but yeah chrome is not the only browser facing this problem, Firefox and IE also faces the similar problem.But hey with use of 'Task Manager' you can close the tab which is taking a lot of memory of your computer.
               There are no customizations options available like it is in Firefox, so you dont have a complete control over the Chrome.
                Since Chrome is a new born baby, it lacks Add-ons but yeah we can expect them to be available soon.
              Well though Chrome has features for blocking cookies and insecure content, it dosnt have a special parental control, which i think is a must for any browser.

Having gone through all the cons and pros, still i think, Chrome is here to stay and like always google's habit of doing things in its own unique dominating way, surely we can expect Chrome to do well in the long run and i just wish Chrome all my best wishes cuz personally am a Google lover :).....
