Google Chrome - hot new internet browser

No discussion about the benefits of the new Google Chrome Browser would be complete without hearing from the people who were behind its development! Here are some interesting thoughts about the story behind Google Chrome.

Before watching this video (shown in the section above) I hadn't thought about how little the various web browsers had actually changed in the years since the internet became popular. 5-stars go to Google for trying to encourage overall improvement of internet browser features!

According to the people on the video, Google Chrome was designed to target the needs of today's webmasters and internet users. It was built specifically for speed, stability, and security. V8 is their new software to speed up javascript. WebKit is the underlying rendering agent for Chrome. It is lightweight and fast! Stability is enhanced by that each web application runs in its own environment. If one tab crashes, the other tabs should still be okay! For security, each webpage has its own separate environment as well. According to the video, the tabs cannot 'speak' to each other! With Google Chrome there is no worrying about leaking secure information to a webpage in a different browser tab.

There are a bunch of quick tricks and shortcuts that you can use when tabbed browsing with google chrome. You'll find that these can really speed up your browing.

Open Recently Closed Tab --> Control + Shift + T
This will open the most recently closed tab. It's a great trick if you accidentally closed a tab you still wanted to browse

Cycle Through Active Tab --> Control + Tab
Rapidly switch between the active tabs in order. Great way to switch between webpages without even needing to use your mouse.

Cycle Through Active Tabs in Reverse --> Control + Shift + Tab
Same as above but cycles in reverse order.

Open a New Tab --> Control + T
Quickly opens a new tab for you to start viewing a new website without losing your current tabbed sites.

Jump to a Different Tab --> Control +1, Control +2, etc
Where the number equals the number of the tab you want to switch to. If you want to go to the last tab, choose 9.

Well there you go. Hope these tabbing tips and shortcuts help you use the Google Chrome browser more efficiently.

This week Google launched their new browser called Chrome (what a great name). As always Google's release was surrounded by a lot of buzz and let me tell you now that it was worth it every single bit. Currently the two most popular browsers on the market are Microsoft's Internet Explorer and the webmaster friendly Mozilla Firefox.

The expectation of the browser was very high and so it should be Google are a multi million dollar company, actually the fastest growing company in the world. But they have met the expectation and exceeded it by miles. Now we will take a look at the beneficial factors of the new browser.

First and foremost the installation is lightning fast. When first loading up the browser all I could notice was the speed the site loads up, very fast indeed. One major floor that both of it competitors were suffering was speed. Besides that Google have taken into consideration all the major floors that the over browsers have. Two of which are very clear at first site and the first being that when a website or loading page decides to crash it does not cause the whole of the browser to crash.

This had a habit of being very annoying, especially when you had several important tabs open. What the chrome browser does is only cause the tab in question to fault and close down. The second great feature is the incognito feature which does not record any of your browsing history, this will be great for internet cafes, schools and various confidential work places.

Switching to the design interface, well what can I say it looks great! easy, simple and professional are the three words that come to mind. With a sleek and simple safari like look it is sure to win a lot of awards. Finally all in all this is Google's first attempt and they have done very well, they have built a browser taking into consideration the new developments of websites, so unlike Firefox and IE who have had to upgrade and tweak there browsers to suit new design and coding needs. Chrome has been designed to cater for the future view of web pages from the beginning.

Still in beta mode the browser will see amazing improvement over the next coming years and with Google looking to now dominate the browser market IE and Firefox must be running scared, very scared!
