So I was was thinking and wondering what I would talk about this week for my blog and just looking up things about what other people had posted. And somehow I just came to the idea to write about something that I use on everyday basis with things for class, homework or just using it to explore the world wide web and it is Google's web browser called Google chrome.
Google Chrome is one of Google's most prized ideas in my viewpoint. It is the third most used browser with around 4.6% usage share of web browsers.Chromes public official release date was December 11, 2008 and its name comes from the graphical user interface frame of web browsers. It is written in C++ and assembly. It is an open source browser that uses Webkit layout engines and application framework and is powered by Google gears. Its includes features such as default homepage thats displays your most visited sites, tabbed browesers so that each tab gets its own process in which leads to fasting and more stable browsing and malware and phising lists that can automatically update themselves and warns you of bad websites.

Chrome also has a mode called "incognito" that lets the you browse the web in complete privacy because this mode doesn't allow it to record any of your activity. Google advertises its web browser with three words speed, simplicity and style. Speed from quick starting from your desktop, faster loading of web pages and faster with running applications. Simplicity with the organization of the tabs and searching and navigating web pages from the same box. And lastly Style in that you can style the way your browser looks like with different artist themes and looks.
I think that Google Chrome was pretty cool looking when it came out. I tried it for a day or two, but ended up going back to Firefox for the development addons that didn't exist for Chrome at the time. Is there better support for web development on Chrome now? Another Google product that I'm looking forward to is Google's OS.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really tried chrome yet. I heard its suppose to be fast or faster than other browsers. I just might download it and give it a test drive.
ReplyDeleteI have been playing with chrome only a little bit. But my co-workers who do alot of our programming love it. They used to be Firefoxies and that is all they would use. Jim downloaded chrome and now he is telling every one to switch. I might as I am getting sick of Firefox putting out these half baked upgrades that slow everything down until they bring out the patch.
