Chrome Browser - Download the new browser from Google

google chromeGoogle Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, & easier.  On the surface, google designed a browser window that is streamlined & simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean & fast.

  • One box for everything
    Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs 
  • New Tab page
    Every time you open a new tab, you’ll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages & closed tabs 
  • Application shortcuts
    Use web apps without opening your browser. Application shortcuts can directly load your favorite online apps 
  • Dynamic tabs
    You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish — quickly & easily 
  • Crash control
    Every tab you’re using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won’t take anything else down. 
  • Incognito mode
    Don’t want pages you visit to show up in your web history? Choose incognito mode for private browsing. 
  • Safe browsing
    Google Chrome warns you if you’re about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website 
  • Instant bookmarks
    Want to bookmark a web page? Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you’re done 
  • Importing settings
    When you switch to Google Chrome, you can pick up where you left off with all the bookmarks and passwords from your existing browser. 
  • Simpler downloads
    No intrusive download manager; you see your download’s status at the bottom of your current window 

What google say:

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox“, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers. ( google.com/chrome/ )
