Thumbs Up on Google Chrome

The reviews are coming in on Google's new browser Chrome. It seems to be passing the test of early scrutiny. According to the search giant, Google Chrome is a browser that combines minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Google sees their latest offering as a result of rethinking current browser design. It was built from scratch and designed to render rich interactive applications. It is meant to be a modern platform for web pages and applications. It was designed to handle the beefed up internet of today and not the static web of yesterday.

Some features of Google Chrome include a blazing fast rendering engine built around the same engine used in Safari, Webkit. Google Chrome has an incognito mode for private browsing. In this mode, no traces of your surfing are left behind. Chrome also sports an intelligent start page which lists thumbnails of frequently visited web pages. Each tab within Chrome is handled by a separate process so if a site crashes one tab, the other tabs are not effected. The built in task manager also lets you see the amount of resources, such as CPU and memory, a web site is consuming. Finally, Chrome lets you drag a tab into its own window and an individual window into its own tab.

All in all Google Chrome looks to present another viable browser choice which should serve to make all players in the market that much stronger.
