It's so amazing how we are being flooded with new browsers to choose from. The major players are introducing newer versions of their former applications like IE 8, Opera, Firefox 3, and Safari. But Google has entered the fray with their new browser named "Chrome". Now if you've used any of the former browsers you'll notice may of the same features in "Chrome", and it seems that they've taken the best of what other browsers do and made a top notch application. Check out some of the features below:
- Incognito Mode - Or Porn Mode as it's known by most people. It allows you to visit web sites but leave no trace in your browser history or in cookies.
- Smart Address Bar - Combines google search bar and the address bar and gives you a comprehensive search feature that's a little better than the version in Firefox 3.
- Tab detachment/attachment - Which allows you to rip a tab from the parent browser and open it as a stand alone, and return it without any loss of data.
- Session Separation - This is my favorite feature! If you've opened many tabs in Firefox or IE*** and you open task manager, you'll notice that each session ties up more and more of your system's memory. If you close the session, the memory is still tied up until you close FF or IE completely. Chrome runs each tab session separate, allowing the memory to be returned once you close a tab without having to close the browser altogether.
