I just downloaded the new Google Chrome browser.  As with most things Google, the most apparent thing right of the box is the naked-ness of the application itself.  Playing around with it for 5 minutes, I like the look and feel.  I quickly reviewed the feature set, and some of the features are listed below:

 

 

  • Dynamic browsing – Easily drag and rearrange tabs.  You can even drag a tab into a new window.
  • Single box – Everything is handled in the URL bar (look  familiar?  This feature has been in place when using Google searches for a while now and was an indicator of some field testing (?) in advance of the launch of Chrome.
  • Ingognito Mode - You can mark a page as ‘Incognito’ which means that no history of the page will be stored on your local machine.  (Websites can still identify and collect information about you though) 

 

I’ll be conducting a more through review, along with millions of my closest friends I am sure.  I’ll share more in due time.  I also have posted the TOS in case you want to know what the G-plex is actually doing with your information.  Now back to work!
