Think of the Internet and you would not think Google and its search engine. But despite everything, until now the "Big G" had never announced its entry into the market browser, the software to go online (see).
After years of rumors and denials, yesterday arrived Google Chrome, the gauntlet to Microsoft, the network of the future.
simple interface, perhaps even too much (other than options a bit 'ostiche to find). Importing bookmarks, history and passwords from IE and / or Firefox works fine for now but completely lacks a special tool to rapidly reorganize bookmarks.
For those accustomed to using the Google Toolbar does not find funny, but Omnibox is ease of use and practical. For more C hrome matter any search engine and other browser with options you can opt for an alternative search engine to Google. The management of the cards in different processes is convenient: a crash of a YouTube video was resolved with the closure of one "tab" and not the whole browser (which, however, has remained frozen for nearly a minute). The "Start Page" with the mosaic of 9 schermatine is practical, but that Opera is more flexible user-configurable. Those who use Firefox then of course will miss extensions. Useful task manager inside the browser, to see the memory footprint of each "Tab". RAM consumption to no more modest, even more than Firefox which alone is quite a mangiamemoria. Overall, the best locations are many, but you must consider that this is a first beta and follow additions and amendments.
BUG AND PRIVACY - A cap as Google will have to put it on the side of safety is already checked the first bug, discovered by an Israeli expert on web security researcher, Aviv Raff, which exploits an old vulnerability in WebKit (the "heart" of Chrome, shared with Apple's Safari, and that Apple had already correct). But most of the concerns were raised about privacy.
read the terms of service, leaps to the eye that Google reserves the right to "automatically install updates to fix or upgrade your browser as bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions" without any control the user. Particularly (and predictably) is expected to be used by Google in the user's browsing patterns for marketing purposes. On this point, however, there are those who calms, citing the fact that the browser is completely open sou RCE and that anyone (with the necessary know-how, of course) can analyze the code and see if Chrome is just a software more or less well done, or is a step in the construction of Big Brother Global.
