Finally the much awaiting Google Chrome is out. Google has hosted its first browser on 2nd September, 2008. The features are just remarkable, best thing about it is that it is An open source platform including Google Gears integration. That means the feature we find after a lot of searching in iGoogle and the Gmail labs will now be available for use at much faster speed.
If you still have never had any experience of the iGoogle try it out too

Also if you have not yet experienced many of the latest features that google provides you, then do have a look:-
Google Labs
Some advanced features have been introduced here in the chrome:-
- Google chrome comes with a new advanced and a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.
- Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast.
- Special tabbed browsing functionality. Now this is something very different from even the latest Mozilla FireFox3.
- Auto completing & search powered address bar (similar to FF3?).So it means that you get Google along with the browser both running at immensely high speeds.
- Incognito mode where “nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer”.This feature relieves us from clearing our computer cache everytime.
- Ability to launch web applications in browser windows.
- Advanced privacy / malware / phishing protection. This seems to be getting interesting!!

Now this seems to be a bad news for the Microsoft. Well at such a pace Google may take over the Internet. Though its applications are still irresistible but this one is too much.
These were the words of Los Angeles Times on 2nd September 2008-
"Chrome intensifies the battle between the tech giants and continues Web software's drive to supersede the operating system."
Now that appears to be so true....
The feature that is looked forward in the Google Chrome is the new special tabbed browsing. Actually it was noticed that the tabs in the browsers we use eats up a lot of RAM of the computer, additionally if one tab does not respond the others also do not seem to work. In all, the browser goes hell.
The feature introduced here treats each tab as a different browser. Not only this, the tabs are expandable + they can also be cascaded as the windows. This means the tabs are now like separate windows in one browser.
Apparently it was a FireFox 2 Add-On that, as Google explains:Google Browser Sync for FireFox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.
The reviews seem to be too good in just one day so what when the whole world will get to know about it. Lets see what the chrome has got for us.Have a look at the official Google Blog.
