Google released its own browser called Google Chrome Beta this week. The shinning chrome is not just a browser, it is actually an application that builts in many features to perform the important stuffs you do such as searching, chatting, email, browser history, memory management and so on (as missing them in other browsers like Internet Explorer,Opera and others).
It's amazing that Google comes up with something 'special' and also becomes more like Internet Operating System near future.
Here, what the Google Chrome Beta means for users/developers:
- Multi-process architecture with each tab runs on its own, since more and more websites require more resources of our computer.
- Improve speed and responsivensee across the board.
- Smarter memory and CPU usage and prevent the browser crashing.
- Task Manager for websites and visual browser history.
I've found the portable version Google Chrome from Carsten's site. All features are the same as the main browser, and you don't require to install and carry it with USB drive (just unzip the files and start Chrome). It tested with Window XP SP3 and Vista SP1.
