Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. It has one box for everything: Type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages. Will give you thumbnails of your top sites; Access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab.
Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google. Its software architecture was engineered from scratch (using components from other open source software including WebKit and Mozilla Firefox) to cater for the changing needs of users and acknowledging that today most web sites aren't web pages but web applications. Design goals include stability, speed, security and a clean, simple and efficient user interface.
Fast loading web pages while surfing the Internet may have more to do with your web browser settings and preferences than your Internet connection speed.

There has been a lot of news flying around and I have simply not had the time to write about it, the last couple of days have been very busy, expect a flurry of articles in the coming days. Now lets explore the wonder that is known as Firefox.
Over the last few months I have noticed people complaining about Firefox and the memory ‘leaks’ and how much memory Firefox hordes for itself. I guess for some people the 40-60Mb of ram that Firefox is sitting on is expensive, but for me, Firefox doesn’t get close to touching my gig of ram, but for those performance nuts that like to do SuperPI runs while browsing the internet, this guide is for you. I have spent days and days (edit: hours) scouring the internet for all the tweaks, hacks, hax, plug-ins, extensions, and tricks that let you eke out every bit of performance and efficiency from Firefox. First off, the hacks.
Minimize Hack The first hack that I have here is the popular Firefox Minimize Hack that has recently flashed through the internet. The purpose of this hack tries to keep Firefox from eating up your physical RAM and instead puts the burden on your hard drive, or at least that is the general reason behind it. To implement this hack, perform the following steps.
1. With Firefox up and running, type about:config and hit enter. 2. Right click on the new page and select New -> Boolean. 3. In the pop-up window, type in “config.trim_on_minimize” without quotes and hit enter. 4. In the next pop-up window, select True and hit enter. 5. Restart your browser
Before using this hack I went to Cnn.com and entered 10 different articles but never touched the back button, just using links. Upon the 10th article, Firefox was using 41Mb. I performed the hack and performed the same step by visiting the same sites with a cleared Cache, and memory usage was down to 33.7 Mb. This value never changed even after a few minutes left idle on the final page. Verdict: not a large saving with a slight decrease in browser rendering speed, worth it if you are ram limited.
This is an amazing news for us! Google without a big warning will release a new web browser. Do you believe it? Believe it! Because it's true... This new browser is called "Chrome"... "Google Chrome" (make me want to hurry up to download google chrome)
Google announced this browser in September 1st 2008. They announced this browser by publishing a comic by Scott Mcloud.
Here's the feature of Google CHROME:
1. Tabbed browsing where each tab gets its own process, leading to faster and more stable browsing. If one tab crashes, the whole browser doesn’t go down with it.
2. A distinct user interface that places tabs on top of the browser window instead of right below the address bar
3. An “incognito” mode that lets you browse the web in complete privacy because it doesn’t record any of your activity
4. A new JavaScript engine built from the ground up for speed
5. Malware and phishing lists that automatically update themselves and warn you of bad websites
6. A default homepage that displays your most commonly used sites and other personalized information.
