Google Chrome Web Browser

Google Chrome has done it! The official test period, the beta stage is over and now it can get going.
While there has been at the beginning of some bad news and some technical hurdles to take, now is the first fully-fledged version of Google Chrome but online.

The ghosts of the user has entered in to the beta version. These may be some Google Chrome browser in the balance throw. The browser is not just super fast, but also visually a delight.

Quite in a blue, he revolutionized the software design, it stands on a strong program with many bar icons waived. Even the years as popular search engines in the field, there are not chrome. A search engine search takes the user into the address bar before. This of course works with the in-house search engine.

As each user already in testing the beta version was noticed: Google Chrome is simply faster. Faster, in fact, than any other browser on the market. As might be expected, Google Chrome is working hand in hand with other Google software solutions. Thus, for example, when users calendar and the mail service will benefit from the synergy.

Through a special Incognito mode, users should be able to fairly unknown by the World Wide Web surfing. That this is never entirely possible, all users should be aware. But at least regulate the developers of Google as much as possible to the safety screw. The Incognito mode builds to a phishing filter and the fact that historical data and cookies while browsing not be saved.

With the persistence of the beta version of Chrome, Google has now officially the place and must mature in the league of major browser. It remains to be seen whether he is permanently against Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera can enforce. One is Google Chrome at the moment but surely. And that's the speed record.

Chrome OS, the future operating system Google's three questions

Google Chrome the operating system, What is it?
Operating system (OS, operating system or VF) is the interface between man and machine. It is usually based on a number of other core layer stack to the application layer. Management of resources (memory, processor), dialogue and equipment (through the driver), including a document management system and graphical user interface ... the operating system package has a sacred mission to complete, and users with little or no, if awareness of all the best.

Google has been involved in the field of mobile phone operating system with the robot system, as well as the Web browser and chromium. And Google said that its new target market netBook, these micro-computer cheap Ultraportables. Chrome the operating system but will be running a wide range of construction equipment, such as small-scale smart phones (with ARM processor), a computer lounge (processor series X86). Lower level, it will depend on the Linux kernel. In the application layer, it will use derivatives Chrome. Because Google said, "for application developers, network is the platform."


Why Chrome the operating system may be a turning point?
Google said: "The operating system [current] This, in turn, has developed an Internet browser when there is no network. Google will have to say," Windows is has become a supply ", otherwise he would not take the other way .

Google promises? "Speed, simplicity and security, through the network access" in a few seconds, little or no virus or machine, once started down past the first few weeks after the installation of the honeymoon.

The netBook is a perfect target, Google. Weak, many people still in the adaptation version of Windows XP, this is the weight started to recognize. Linux has been drilled, but not the same as the original expectations.

Success in this part of the other opportunities will open up Google, the user will benefit from a little competition. Microsoft still has 87% market share of the computer operating system (for 9-1%, Apple and Linux to figures from the global market share statistics).


Why Chrome the operating system may fail?
Network as an application platform, our objective is to close to Google and all the supporters, "cloud computing." Do not know the network / applications or loans (county), Hello, the recent collapse of Gmail, anyone? Of course, the operating system can make use of chrome Google Gear, or the future of HTML 5, opened the door to offline mode utliser tools such as Gmail or Google Documents do not connect to the Internet. However, even on Apple's iPhone has finally dropped in and abandoned the idea, the only Web applications, many have been installed in the local.

If it is almost time to make the time between coffee, Vista starts, you can surf the Web, a number of Linux distribution has been reduced by a period of 10 seconds. Intel's even more than the target operating system and two micro-credit cards to play some "real-time desktop.

Now, we do not know much about the Google project. Minimalism at its core allows users to connect to your iPod to synchronize your computer?

Google Chrome Installation and Updates

Since our public launch in September, a number of Google Chrome users, a number of issues, our installation and update process. We tried to answer most of them in our Help Center, but because many of you may not visit the Help Center, this post attempts to provide some background, in-depth understanding of our current installation and update process.

When we began to explore ways for our installer, we made a number of clear objectives:

● With the new browser vulnerability appeared on a regular basis, allowing users to check out the burden of security updates.
● Non-administrators who allow users to install Google Chrome.
● Allow updates occur automatically in the background, even if Google Chrome is in use. The next time you open Google Chrome, it can simply start using the latest version.
● As the smallest user interface (UI) of the Google Chrome to limit or eliminate, as far as possible the installation interface.
● Update should be as small as possible. There is a security patch is a small, quick download and should not be the need for a complete installation.
● Uninstall should clean and made clear the changes in Google Chrome, as far as possible.

After reading the available options, we found that no one will give us all things, we hope, we have decided to write our own installation process.

Installation
We believe that the installation of Google Chrome has been made very simple. When you run the installer, not the screen, jumping or confusing options. And you install the first time the UI window, allows you to enter data from your current default browser. Some people (especially those who use Windows XP, not Windows Vista's) confused by the choice of our installed in the user profile directory under program files. There are several reasons, we choose the user profile directory:
Anyone can install the Google Chrome, not just the administrator.
In Windows Vista does not have any safety tips during the installation process. If you are running as a non-elevated Administrator, you can still install Google Chrome, without having to enter an administrator password. But we still need to ask for a password, so that Google Chrome the default browser, as a result of how the requirements of Windows Vista browser applications registered.
You can choose to install or uninstall Google Chrome will not affect other people who use the same computer.

Update
Google Chrome automatically updates itself with the help of Google update, Google is also used in other products, including Google, dialogue, gear, and Google Earth plug-ins. Use Google to update means that we can use existing services, has to take care of many problems in the auto-update:

● Different channels to date, each country has its own timetable and an updated version of chrome.
● The context of updating the software without any annoying dialogue.
● Acting in support of good, able to handle a variety of proxy configuration download and install payloads.
● There is only one example of Google more than Google to update the management plan to install on the machine.

Google updates used to enable us to promote incremental change relatively quickly - we have released 14 updates in 3 months between the release and we take the test label.
