- Logo: Google Chrome
Happy birthday Google! The world’s biggest search engine is giving itself a present for its 10th birthday today. The launch of Google Chrome sees the arrival of Google’s very own browser. This browser works with the Webkit rendering engine which can be found in Apple’s Safari browser, and in Linux KDE. This new browser should be especially fast and should run smoothly, and JavaScript should also work faster than with others. Google has brought out a comic explaining how the program works, just so that everyone will know how to use the software.
There isn’t that much to explain though. Just as with Mozilla’s Firefox or Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Google’s Chrome works with tabs, which allow various internet pages to be open simultaneously within a window, and also makes these easy to manage. In Chrome, these will be displayed about the URL, at the top of the window. Pop-up windows are only allowed according to the users’ express wishes, so this should make surfing more comfortable too.
With regards to security Google will compile a list of damaging websites, and this list will be constantly updated. More information about the Google Chrome browser will be available soon.
