What I think about Google Chrome
By the way everyone knows (by now atleast) Google has its new “Chrome – Google’s Web Browser” its pretty cool for browsing, its great way or great example on what user wants to feel happy while browsing…
I was wondering why would Google want to build Browser,
well they have reason for it, have a look here from Google’s Word – Why Google Wanted to Create Its Own Browser
What I like about Chrome?
- Way Browsing elements are arranged
- Wide Browsing area
- Fast browsing experience
- Incognito feature – its called InPrivate in IE8
However what I dont like is the memory its taken while browsing, I might be wrong (Please comment it If i am) which slows up the other application, I am getting the feeling that, thats one of the area Google has to concentrate as it was the same issue with Google Desktop.
Anyways, Lets see what I have felt using chrome in details.
1. Way Browsing elements are arranged
What if, if you get exactly what you want in-front of you ? that’s what it happens in Chrome when you open a new tab, it thumbnails all the previously browsed websites in front of you, you need not type in again. Though all browser shows recently typed URL as you typein couple of character but its always presentation and reachable matters website thumbnails are ready in-front of you just click it, don’t you agree with me?
Have a look at some of them.

2. Larger Browsing area
t has larger browsing area which is most required while browsing, if you can observe status bar is smartly built like a mouseover effect, what i meant is it displays on when you type in the URL on the address bar and while loading and it vanishes while its done !! isn’t it great and wanted feature.
No Menu and we dont want it either, how often do we use it, hardly for setting the connection? I am sure 99% of the users never touch the menu item which are displayed in the top its taken out in Chrome – we dont want it (I know its alredy came in IE7 release)
3. Fast browsing experience
Though I felt Chrome, is pretty faster, Firefox still cliams its 28% more faster then Chrome engine. They might be right also
4. Incognito feature – its called InPrivate in IE8
What is Incognito?
“Browsing in incognito mode only keeps Google Chrome from storing information about the websites you’ve visited” Good for you doesn’t keep track if you visit “family websites” lol
and you need not explicitly clear the history, however you might have to put off or pause Google Web History tracking, as it still keep track of search history if you have logged in as Google user.

By the way all new cookies are deleted after you close the incognito window, hmmmmmm if everyone started using “incognito” or “inprivate” (from IE8) what happens to metrics in Web Analytics reports?
What will be fate of Unique visitors – everyone will be unique in this case? any thoughts?
Security flaws
A security expert has criticized what serves as the automatic file download feature that comes enabled by default in Google Chrome. They argued that it could be used easily by an attacker to trick a user into opening a malicious executable file.

But now the chanllenge part is how quickly (just in case) Chrome will acquire market share of in the browsers war. It took 5 years to capture 43% of browser market share for Firefox against Microsoft,
