Get Google Chrome

Feature
Google Chrome aims to improve security, speed, and stability. There are extensive differences from its peers in Chrome's minimalistic user interface, which is atypical of modern web browsers. Chrome's strength 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.


Many of Chrome's unique features had been previously announced by other browser developers, but Google was the first to implement and publicly release them. For example, its most prominent graphical user interface (GUI) innovation, the merging of the address bar and search bar (the Omnibox) was first announced by Mozilla in May 2008 as a planned feature for Firefox.

Security
Chrome periodically downloads updates of two blacklists (one for phishing and one for malware), and warns users when they attempt to visit a harmful site. This service is also made available for use by others via a free public API called "Google Safe Browsing API". Google notifies the owners of listed sites who may not be aware of the presence of the harmful software.

Speed
The JavaScript virtual machine used by Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, has features such as dynamic code generation, hidden class transitions and precise garbage collection. Tests by Google in September 2008 showed that V8 was about twice as fast as Firefox 3.0 and the WebKit nightlies.

Stability
The Gears team implemented a multi-process architecture in Chrome,[83] similar to Loosely Coupled Internet Explorer (LCIE) implemented by Internet Explorer 8.[84] By default, a separate process is allocated to each site instance and plugin, a procedure referred to as process isolation.[85] This prevents tasks from interfering with each other, increasing security and stability. An attacker successfully gaining access to one application cannot gain access to others,[citation needed] and failure in one instance results in a Sad Tab screen of death, similar to the well-known Sad Mac, except only a single tab crashes instead of the whole application. This strategy exacts a fixed per-process cost up front, but results in less memory bloat overall as fragmentation is confined to each instance and no longer requires further memory allocations.[86]. Safari[87] and Firefox[88] are also adopting this architecture in upcoming versions, meaning that all common browsers use a multi-process architecture.

Chrome includes a process management utility called Task Manager which allows the user to see what sites and plugins are using the most memory, downloading the most bytes and over-utilizing the CPU" and provides the ability to terminate them.

(+) Advantages:
- Lightweight and nimble, including when the first start and move tab
- The design is simple and minimalist
- Easy update
- A strong security system, currently is a browser that is most resistant to hacker attacks

(-) Disadvantages:
Static, features a lot less
Install it should be online, Chrome does not provide a master file, so if you want to install only given lauchernya file only

The browser is better suited for such a site open a lot of news of his text. If others are still mending for firefox.
