Google Chrome is a freeware web
browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine until version 27
and, with the exception of its iOS releases, from version 28 and beyond the
WebKit fork Blink. It was released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on
September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008. As of
April 2013[update], according to StatCounter, Google Chrome has a 39% worldwide
usage share of web browsers making it the most widely used web browser in the
world. Net Applications, however, indicates that Chrome is only third when it
comes to the size of its user base, behind Internet Explorer and Firefox.
FEATURES :
Ø Google
Chrome aims to be secure, fast, simple and stable. There are extensive
differences from its peers in Chrome's minimalistic user interface, which is
atypical of modern web browsers. For example, Chrome does not render RSS feeds.
One of Chrome's strengths is its application performance and JavaScript
processing speed, both of which were independently verified by multiple
websites to be the swiftest among the major browsers of its time.
Ø Chrome
allows users to synchronize their bookmarks and settings across all devices
with the browser installed by sending and receiving data through a chosen
Google Account, which in turn updates all signed-in instances of Chrome

Ø The
private browsing feature called Incognito mode prevents the browser from
permanently storing any history information or cookies from the websites
visited. Incognito mode is similar to the private browsing feature in other web
browsers. Chrome was the second browser to implement this feature, after
Safari.
Ø A
multi-process architecture is implemented in Chrome where, by default, a separate process is
allocated to each site instance and plugin. This procedure is termed process
isolation, and it prevents tasks from interfering with each other, raising
security and stability.
Ø Chrome
Web Store allows users to install web applications as extensions to the
browser, although most of these function simply as links to popular web pages
and/or games, but some of the apps like Springpad do provide extra features
like offline access. The themes and extensions have also been tightly
integrated into the new store, allowing users to search the entire catalog of
Chrome extras.
