New Google Chrome!

Now Google helps you Surf the Net.

Yes! Now it’s Google which has its own internet browser which is supposed to be extremely less resource oriented, which promises to deliver faster web surfing with good security, and also is very user friendly.

Its beautiful and simple, trust me, it’s true. Just like all other browsers it has its own features as well.

One of its really brilliant and useful tool is its address bar, if you have it you won't require any other search toolbars. Because, all you need to do is type in the address bar and get suggestion for both the available web pages and the search content through Google. Not only this, it also saves a list of search engines that you have recently used while browsing the internet. Search boxes for the ones you have recently used automatically appear on the page for easy access. You can search the websites directly from this pop-up. All you need to do is click on them and there you go.

One of the coolest things you can do in Google Chrome is playing around with its tabs which they call Dynamic Tabs. What you can do is just drag a tab outside the window and it opens up in a new window, or just drag all open windows in one window and they all appear as tabs in it. I know we all do manage our tabs and windows properly but it does help us at times or it’s just fun when your extremely bored and you have already tried all other resources to keep you excited.

You also get nine thumbnails of your most visited websites when you open the browser for the first time, that’s same thing like Opera. Another feature is the "Recently Closed Tabs", this saves the links of the tabs which you have recently closed, which you can open up in case you accidently close a tab. What they also have is the "Crash Control", and trust me this is really very helpful as if you have multiple tabs or windows open, and a particular web application crashes, there is no need to restart the browser, you can just close that tab or window. This is possible because every tab or window runs separately or rather independently, and that the trick.

There is one thing very controversial though; as Google says Chrome is very less resource oriented, and every tab runs individually shouldn’t it use more resources.
Google Chrome also offers you the "Incognito Browsing Mode", in this mode you’re browsing and downloading history is not logged. So now you know what you can use it for.

One thing that most may not like is that everything on Chrome is Google so you don’t get to search on other sites directly over the browser, also it’s an automatic system, so you might start hating it after some time, “After all, it’s my PC.” So that’s not much freedom on your own PC.

It’s really not much different and it won’t change much of your browsing experience, but that’s what happens in a beta version. So maybe, with the final release and some add-ons it might improve a lot.

As for now you can just try using it, and stick to it if you do like the experience. I personally don’t use it maybe I’ll think after using the final release
