Chrome the Google Browser - Ready for the Web?Written by Abdulrehman on September 8th, 2008
The beta version of Google’s new browser ‘Chrome’ was released on 2 September, 2008 for Windows in more than 100 countries. Well why Google launched the Browser? This is what their blog has to say about it:
“Because we believe we can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web.”
Well I see it is pretty much making sense, previously google was supporting Firefox as the browser to use, but now they have different views with their own browser in the spot light now. But still as Firefox supporters they did not want to outshare it’s market, so they made chrome open-source for others browsers to keep up. I had no intentions of downloading Chrome in any way but I messed up with my computer and unfortunately had to format it and set up the computer all over again. Downloading the important softwares for my computer, I was about to search Download firefox on Google when I saw this link which said Try Google’s new Browser. I thought of gving it a try and after a few minutes the Google browser was all over my computer. The only thing I have liked about it so far is that it helps give me a clear view of the website I’m viewing as it is not very crowded with all the bars at top and I really feel like I am at a website. Here is what this blog looks like in the browser:
However, that is the only thing which I have liked about it so far and that is also possible in other browsers if I close all the bars. So now what’s the difference? I have a really slow processor and a very less RAM for my computer which means it cannot afford programs jacking up a lot of memory for nothing. Well what I have noticed is that this browser takes screenshots of the websites you visit which freezes up my computer. Although this is something that I have just noticed on Chrome’s default landing page, screenshots of most of the websites I visited recently. But something I liked about it is that if one website crashes the browser, it will not crash the whole window, just the concerned tab which makes it pretty sweet. This also affects the security features as each browser tab is isloated into its own domain which means that a web-based attack will have a harder time taking over the computer.
Since the browser is still in its beta phase so I will not have much to say about it although I would say that their future plans are great. They have a built a new JavaScript engine called V8, which is good enough to power the next generation of web applications which are not possible in browsers today. According to Larry Page the co-founder of Google, one of the main aims of Chrome is to make it work faster on old, slow computers which is the main problem on the internet today. Its working pretty good for me so far, and the start-up loading time is very low compared to firefox, but at the moment I still think that firefox is better than chrome, although future updates to Chrome will out-run this statement.
