Google Chrome and Pokémon
Posted: September 04, 2008
So I've been trying out Google's new browser. It looks cool as hell, which I suppose makes up, for now, for the fact that it is only out for Windows.
Google does a really good job of showing you all the features of all of its applications. I watched the videos they have up on all of the features.
Features of note:
- The browswer has a built-in task manager. You can find out how much memory each open tab is taking up. You can also choose to "end process" on a tab that is either using too much memory or is freezing up.
- Incognito mode: You can switch on incognito mode so the browser does not store any information on searches and pages browsed. Google is just trying to make it easier for people to watch porn and other NSFW (I dare you to click it) stuff at work.
Some other interesting things about this browser:
- Chrome was built on the same, open-source rendering engine that Safari was built on - WebKit. That means you won't have to test for an extra browser because if it works in Safari it works in Chrome. The other thing is that means R.I.P. clunky, old Safari
- A Web comic accompanied the release of the browser
Most important of all, I couldn't help but think the logo for the browser reminded me of something other than childhood memory game Simon...
I'm just sayin'.
