Wow, leave it up to Google to publically announce the release of its new Web Browser program: Chrome the day before it is released. That’s right! Google will release Google Chrome, a Googlified version of a tabbed web browser based on Firefox 3 and Apple’s WebKit. Not surprisingly, Google decided to announce its release by publishing a 38 pages long comic book featuring techies discussing about the feature of the new Google Chrome.
Here’s some point-to-point features of this new Google Chrome browser software:
- Open Source
- Tabs located above the address URL bar, not below it
- URL auto-completion feature called ‘Omnibox.’
- Super “Incognito Windows” where any browsing that occurs will never be logged and will remain private
- Phishing defender
- Auto web-application launch feature without the need of a URL based application address.
Now, Firefox 3, Opera, and Safari are all great web browsers applications. (Actually, most tech-savvy people would no doubt prefer Firefox.) But come on… this is Google we’re talking about. Just the title “Google Browser” will make you dance in your chair and well, OMG. Like I said, leave it up to Google to sparkle us with wonder.
