Google Chrome


Search engine major Google on Wednesday launched a new web browser, Chrome, in its beta version. Google is touting its new browser as a "better Web experience" which will be faster, less crash-prone and more secure than anything in the market yet. The browser market is currently dominated by Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which accounts for more than 70 per cent of browsers, followed by Mozilla's Firefox, Apple's Safari, and Opera.
This is surely a fast browser.I opened nseindia.com and it took just a flash to come up, this site however takes time to load on Mozilla, thanks to the heavy in-built java application.The over look and feel looks good....may be because I have gone bored of Mozilla and IE looks.The thumbnails concepts of the recently visited sites is a good idea.Thats a new thing.However I did notice a bad thing.On the navigation arrows(back and front)you don't get a drop-down of the previous pages like we get in Mozilla and IE.I found this bad.One cannot go back sequentially from the present page doing a back every time to reach the page one wishes to.Chrome should have the navigation drop down for quick nanvigation/access.
