The Google Chrome Web browser used a tabbed window interface that enables you to view different websites on their own tabs. Unlike other Web browsers, Google Chrome launches a separate process on your computer for every new tab or window that it opens. As a result, browsing on Google Chrome is faster than on other browsers.
Instructions
Launch the Google Chrome Web browser from your Desktop.
Click on the "Wrench" icon located on the top-right of the browser and select "Options." This will open the "Options" tab.
Select the radio button for "Open the home page" in the "On startup" section.
Select the radio button for "Open this page" in the "Home page" section.
Type or paste the URL for Google Chrome's home page, which is "http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html?hl=en", into the text box next to the "Open this page" radio button.
Click on the "X" button on the top-right of the browser to exit Google Chrome.
Relaunch the Google Chrome browser from your Desktop.

Google Chrome Frame and Internet Explorer
Google Chrome Frame is a plug-in that allows Internet Explorer users 6.0 and above to use Chrome to help render pages. Its purpose is to speed up IE and also to allow it to support HTML 5, which IE does not do on its own. Microsoft, however, warns its users that its privacy features, particularly in IE8 are rendered moot with the plug-in, so users are essentially trading privacy for speed. How the plug-ins' security might be exploited is as of yet unknown as well, but Microsoft says that using the

Even more interesting is that IE's rival Mozilla also came out against the Google Chrome Frame, calling it

How to use Internet Explorer within Google Chrome Browser
Some websites, particularly ones which use ActiveX controls, are only compatible with Internet Explorer. If you use Google Chrome and don't want to open a separate Internet Explorer window for these websites, you can install a third-party add-on that runs Internet Explorer in a tab inside your Google Chrome Web browser. These add-ons only work with Windows, because they embed the Internet Explorer software on your system inside a tab. Each add-on is available for free from Google's Chrome Web Store.
Instructions
Open the IE Tab, IE Tab Classic or Chrome IE Tab Multi add-on page on the Chrome Web Store at Chrome.Google.com.
Click the "Install" button on the page to install your add-on, then click the "Install" button in the dialog that appears, to confirm.
Browse to a Web page you want to use in Internet Explorer within Google Chrome.
Click the "IE Tab" or "Chrome IE Tab Multi" icons on the toolbar or the "IE Tab Classic" icon in your address bar to view the Web page in an Internet Explorer tab inside Google Chrome.

How to Block a Website in Google Chrome
Whether you suspect your children are visiting websites they shouldn't, feel certain sites are distracting you from work or just want to remove a website from your life entirely, blocking that site can be a good way to do so. Google Chrome blocks a large number of hazardous sites, but at this time does not allow users to block sites manually. Windows does, however, if you know what you're doing---and anything blocked Windows-wide will impact Google Chrome.
Open Windows Explorer, and type "C:WINDOWS\\system32\\drivers\\etc" in the address bar (if address bar does not show, please see 'tips' section below), then press "Enter." Windows Explorer will present you with three files: "hosts," "network" and "protocol."
Open the "hosts" file. Right-click the file, choose \"Open\" and open the file in Notepad.
At the bottom of the document, add the numbers "127.0.0.1", followed by at least one space, followed by the URL of the website you want to block. For example, if you wanted to block "bing.com" you would enter "127.0.0.1 bing.com" to do so.
Do not put either \"http://\" or \"www\" in front of the names of websites you wish to block--doing so will result in the site not being blocked. You are blocking the entire site regardless of protocol.
Save the document and restart your computer. Any attempt to visit the site you blocked in Chrome (or any other browser, for that matter) will result in an error message.

Chrome Browser Set To Pass Firefox
Google’s Chrome browser has attained 20 percent market share, according to some counts
Most Internet researchers agree that Google’s Chrome web browser is steadily gaining market share at the expense of established rivals Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Two top browser researcher disagree on just how much market share Chrome has worldwide. StatCounter said Google claimed 20.7 percent browser share for June, up from 2.8 percent a year ago. Net Applications claimed Chrome actually corralled 13.1 percent, up from 12.5 percent through May.
Market share wars
More broadly, StatCounter said Firefox is next in line to be passed by Chrome at 28.3 percent, with IE at 43.6 percent. On the (much) lower end of the scale, Safari is at 5 percent, with Opera claiming 1.7 percent through the month. Net Applications meanwhile has IE at 53.7 percent, Firefox at 21.7 percent, Safari at 7.5 percent and Opera at the same 1.7 percent.
While there is a wide differential between both firms’ figures, it’s clear Chrome is gaining share and momentum. From Google Chrome officials own lips at Google I/O in May, eWEEK heard Chrome had racked up more than 160 million users, up from 120 million in December. If that trend holds true, Chrome should crack the 200 million mark in October.
Royal Pingdom crunched some numbers based on StatCounter’s stats and guessed Chrome could pass Firefox this November and IE by June 2012. Assuming Chrome’s ascent continues at its average growth rate over the past six months (consider that it took Chrome only two years to hit 10 percent share) Chrome could even hit 50 percent share by November 2012, Royal Pingdom said.
Acceleration
There are many reasons for Chrome’s upswing: accelerated release cycles, which means Google is putting snazzy new features that other browsers lack in front of users faster. Case in point: the Chrome Speech capabilities to enable voice search on the desktop.
Chrome advertising and marketing for the browser and Chrome Operating System have also been playing their parts in the growth. Google last year began advertising Chrome on ESPN.com, the New York Times and other high-profile websites for a year. In May, Google began pushing Chrome as the centre of users’ life experiences, planting a marketing seed for Chrome OS notebooks.
The first Samsung Series 5 Chromebook launched on 15 June, while the Acer AC700 machine won’t ship until mid-month. It’s unclear how many Series 5 Samsung sold through Amazon.com and Best Buy online. Google July made Series 5 Chromebooks available for flights in hotels.
