Chrome 14 features are accessible from the Preferences menu via the wrench icon on the right of the navigation bar. Version 14 offers a lot of convenience when browsing the web. Perfectly basic features, including tabs, create new windows and private browsing modes that Google calls Incognito help turn off tracking cookies, record logs, and support utilities extend,.
Chrome is based on WebKit, an open source technology similar to Apple Safari, Google's Android mobile platform and other mobile browsing tools. However, Chrome runs on different JavaScript technologies than its WebKit brothers.
Also, users can see some very interesting security improvements. Users can now delete Flash cookies right in Chrome and the Safe Browsing protection feature helps protect against files containing malicious code. Support for Chrome Web Applications (launched in September 2010) now includes the ability to run Web applications from the address bar.
Mac users will now receive a warning window when using the Command-Q shortcut to close the browser. And finally, Google Gears support has been removed in Chrome 12 in preparation for new offline options for Google Apps. When will it work? When will it be deployed? All still have to wait.
The Print preview feature, previously a small button in Chrome's feature list, is now fixed. The stable version for the Mac does not yet have this feature because it is being "owned" by the PDF reader built into Chrome.
Chrome tags are always the best side of this browser. They can separate: "tabs" and "windows" can be used interchangeably. Separated tags can be dragged and dropped back into the browser, tags can be rearranged at any time by clicking, holding, dragging and dropping. Besides, they also work with their own tasks. This means that when a card fails, the other cards are still unaffected. Although the memory shortage is a top concern for Chrome when you open multiple cards, we only see the browser working slowly and other difficulties appear when opening more than 30 cards.
Account synchronization is also one of Chrome's outstanding faces. When using Gmail account, Chrome will sync your theme, custom, bookmarks, extensions. Users can also switch between these items. It still hasn't provided a password when syncing, though the password management feature provides a very smart show-password option that will help keep it separate from the current page.
In addition, Chrome also offers a lot of editing security settings. In the Options menu, go to Under the Hood tab. Here, you can transfer and customize most security and privacy settings for the browser. Like Firefox, Chrome provides extensive management of search engines and search customization. Although this may not sound very impressive, not all browsers allow you to set keyword shortcuts to search and even a limit on the search engine you set as default. Chrome offers 3 default options for you to choose: Google, Bing and Yahoo.
In the field of security, in addition to allowing JavaScript to be turned off, Chrome automatically blocks websites that are already known for spreading phishing and malware attacks or simply unsafe web sites.
Based on the open source WebKit technology and Google's V8 JavaScript engine, Chrome has quickly gained attention since its launch thanks to its super-fast rendering speed. 3 years later, this has not changed. The stable version of Chrome is still one of the fastest and most stable browsers available today.
Recently, Google patched 32 vulnerabilities in Chrome browser. 15 of the 32 vulnerabilities were rated 'high', the second rated risk level on Google's 4-step rating scale, 10 'medium' level vulnerabilities and 7 remaining 'low' levels.
None of the vulnerabilities are classified as "critical", which is often used for serious errors. Google has also patched some serious vulnerabilities this year and the last time in April.
Google Chrome, in addition to being renowned for its fast performance, also features a clean interface and competitive features. That is the proof that this web browser is gaining more and more market share. Chrome is a serious choice for those who want to own a browser not just a web experience.
