Google has finally launched its browser named ‘Chrome’. On their official website they have mentioned the technical details in CARTOON BOOK format, which undermines the seriousness of the software they have developed.

It is too early to compare Chrome with any other browser, but mentioned below are the top 10 features which I find useful and handy.

The top 10 features of Chrome

1. Tabbed Interface – with the tabs at the top.

2. Dockable Windows – move it and the window state too will move.

3. The omnibox handles more than just URLs. It offers suggestions for searches, top visited pages, pages you have not visited but are popular and the best feature is the full text search over the history.

4. Auto complete to something you have explicitly typed before. (Inline completion which is very discreet).

5. A very handy and thoughtful feature which is incorporated in the default new tab is, that it opens with nine most frequently visited websites ( thumbnails ) on the left and on the right, sites that you search for the most.

6. Google Chrome has a privacy mode. Pages viewed here will never be logged on to your computer, that means no cookies etc.

7. Pop ups will be pushed to its own tab. To make the pop up visible simply drag it out and it will be promoted to its own window.

8. Sandboxing – The weapon against malware.

9. Very simple Interface. With no Menu bars cluttering the window.

10. Easy download system. A simple push button method.
