Tuesday, September 2, 2008
I have installed Google Chrome and started to experience it. As of now I noticed that Google itself started to promote their Google Chrome product by placing Donwload link for Google Chrome in its home page.
  • Its look like full screen mode of firefox. 
  • Incognito - Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.
  • Bookmarking features in Google chrome are more flexible to use. 
  • While openning new tab - It will have the thumbnail for most visited websites, its very useful to reach the closed taps immediately.

Google To Launch A New Web Browser - Google Chrome

Google is launching a new web browser- Google Chrome, an open source browser based on Webkit and powered by Google Gears. The Webkit engine is also used by Apple's Safari and Nokia among others, to render web pages. JavaScript execution is handled by V8, yet another new high performance JavaScript engine in the mold of TraceMonkey and SquirrelFish, with dynamic code generation and optimisation and a precise memory management for fast garbage collection. Chrome has also incorporated Google's Gears as standard, giving web applications in Chrome access to database, geolocation and desktop integration.

One of its features highlight an "incognito" mode that lets you browse the web in complete privacy because it doesn't record any of your activity. Google has stated that Chrome will be an open source application, with the terms described indicating a BSD or Apache permissive licence. A beta version for Windows will be released on September 2nd with Mac and Linux versions being developed. Check for Google chrome download and other regular updates of the browser on Google's official blog

Google Chrome - Google's Finally Launching Its Own Browser

Monday, September 1, 2008
So much for a quiet Labor Day off. Google Blogoscoped has news of Google Chrome, a new browser that Google plans to release. More coverage can also be found on Techmeme. No -- it's not just a rumor. Google tells me that it is indeed a real browser it plans to release. Expect more news to come when we're back at things on a normal schedule tomorrow. 
Postscript Barry Schwartz: The Google Blog now has a posted on the news. Basically, the Google browser is coming out in Beta for Windows users tomorrow.

Does the World need another Browser?

Google has announced another new tool. It’s called Chrome and is a browser. Why on earth do we need another browser? If they’d do one for Android (their mobile platform) I’d understand - but for OSes?!
They use Apple’s WebKit as a base rendering engine and put some -admittedly good- fluff around it. But what I don’t get is why they make another one. They would have been much more effective teaming up with Apple and Safari or the FireFox guys. It would have left the browser landscape untouched. This now adds yet again another thing you need to test when developing web applications. The cost alone worldwide to web development projects will be in the hundreds of millions. Just because Google thought it would be cool to have their own browser. I wonder if they ever thought of the follow-on-effect of their actions.
The only hope I have is that the WebKit engine they use remains unchanged. That would mean testing Chrome would test Safari and the other way round. That remains to be seen once the browser is out in the wild.
The ideas Google have and what they are trying to do is great but it’s just the wrong way. This smacks of a Microsoft stratagem and I also believe it will have a Microsoftish feel to it aka somewhat stale and big monopoly like.
As a tester I hope they will still come to their senses. We have enough browsers to have healthy competition and we have more than enough browsers to give testers a royal headache. So please not another cool browser!!!
