Google Chrome browser is meant to provide users a choice.
Google launched on Wednesday Google Chrome, an open source-based web browser that aims to compete head-on with Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox.
CHROME, the brand spankin' new browser that's out to change the way we surf the net, (and along the way, kill Microsoft's stagnating Explorer) debuted today, and it has all the cool killer apps that seem to be thought of first by the Google Geniuses!
According to Linus Upson, Director of Engineering, Google Inc,"The biggest challenge for us is that users don't realize they have a choice when it comes to browsers. If there is a competition, this will help improve the available browsers in the market. Our goal is to provide more choice for users, less problems for developers and grow the over-all market"
Available in more than 40 languages including Filipino, Google Chrome was released as a beta product now available for free for Windows-based users.
Chrome will be available for Mac and Linux users in the coming months, Google executives said.
With the goal of improving user's experience, Chrome included a great new interface features this are:
OMNIBOX - which works as the URL, search and history box. It also suggests frequently visited sites, while providing Google's own popular query whenever a keyword is typed in the box.
INCOGNITO MODE - which allows users to browse a website without leaving any trace on the site visited, including username and passwords.
DYNAMIC TABS - whenever you open a new "tab", your Most Visited sites are conveniently displayed, so that you can easily access without having to type the address, or pull down your favorites menu.
Google Chrome uses a JavaScript engine called V8 that speeds up current web applications and enables a whole new set of web applications that could not exist on browsers other than Chrome.
The Google engineering team from Aarhus, Denmark built V8 from scratch to respond to the dynamic and interactive sites.
Google Chrome was released as an open source project which intents to help make future browsers better while continuing to develop additional features and technology.
