Efficient WEB browsing tool: Google Chrome

【Basic Introduction】

Google Chrome is a web browsing tool designed for simplicity and efficiency, developed by Google.

The characteristics of Google Chrome are simplicity and speed. Google Chrome supports multi-tab browsing, with each tab page running independently in a "sandbox," which enhances security and ensures that the crash of one tab page will not lead to the closure of other tab pages. In addition, Google Chrome is based on the more powerful JavaScript V8 engine, achieving what current web browsers cannot.

Google Chrome is currently still in the beta testing phase and needs further improvement in many areas. It is an open-source software that draws inspiration from Apple's WebKit (the engine used by Safari), Mozilla's Firefox, and other related applications. Google officially claims that it will release all the source code of Google Chrome.

【Software Features】

• The Chrome browser is based on the open-source Webkit and includes Google Gears.

• Chrome provides a browser extension framework, which can be used to create hybrid applications similar to Adobe-AIR.

• It includes the V8 JavaScript virtual machine, a multi-threaded virtual machine that can accelerate JavaScript execution.

• It has a privacy mode, allowing users to use it without logging in locally, a function similar to the Incognito feature in Microsoft IE8.

• The browser will have built-in anti-"phishing" and malware prevention functions.
