Google Launches Web Browser?

Posted in Google, Web Technologies, web2.0 productivity at 11:30 pm by admin

Google has launched its own browsers (after rumors for so so long…) - codename “Google Chrome” to party in the crowd of IE, Firefox, Opera & Safari.

So does it mean web designers need to cater for (yet) another browser compatibility when it comes to CSS, Javascript etc? We shall see!

It better be good. Let’s see what’s the genius of Google have to offer in a browsers this time soon. The google browser download should be available anytime from now.

Google Open Source Web Browsers

Some Chrome’s Highlights

  • Includes a brand-new JavaScript virtual based Javascript compiler from a Danish group called V8.
  • Tabs wil go above the window, not below the address bar
  • Location bar will support auto-complete functions and suggests web pages you’ve previously visited (or those you haven’t)
  • There will be a privacy mode (geek terms - “Incognito” Window) that allows you to surf without saving any personal history. (interesting, wonder how google suppose to deliver us more relevant ad?)
  • Chrome will constantly download updated information about web sites with malicious codes
