We have already seen how a rumour turned into reality with Google announcing launch of its very own web browser ‘Google Chrome’. It looks all ready to slug out in browser war with Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Google Chrome is now available for download and test drive. Currently, it is only available for Windows XP and Vista. Before you download, here is quick run down of features in store:
One box for everything
Type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages.
Thumbnails of your top sites
Access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab.
Shortcuts for your apps
Get desktop shortcuts to launch your favorite web applications.
Incognito or Private 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.
Simple Downloads
No intrusive download manager; you see your download’s status at the bottom of your current window.
Sticking to Google tradition, Chrome has very neat and easy to use interface. It does not have any jazz and flux that comes with Internet Explorer. It is real quick but it is too early to replace IE or Firefox.
Being Google name attached to Chrome, it has potential to capture huge number of PC web browsers. Download Google Chrome, test drive and let us know – how was your Chrome experience?
