Google Chrome Frame boosts IE pace up to Chrome levels

So, meet how such of an action process do you intend in Internet Explorer when you establish and attain consume of Chrome Frame?

Quite a lot, as it turns out!

Note: All tests carried discover on Windows Vista 64-bit.

I definite to verify Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 and wager what assorted Chrome Frame prefabricated when streaming the SunSpider JavaScript criterion test. For comparability I also ran the effort in Google Chrome 3 browser.

•           IE7 using Chrome Frame is most 40 nowadays faster at streaming finished the SunSpider JavaScript criterion effort than IE7 alone.

•           IE8 using Google Chrome Frame is most 10 nowadays faster at streaming finished the SunSpider JavaScript criterion effort than IE8 alone.

•           Using Chrome Frame, IE7 and IE8 are nearly as alacritous as Google Chrome itself at processing JavaScript.

Good stuff indeed.

As to inventiveness practice patch streaming Chrome Frame, I didn’t wager some perceptible process in mainframe or RAM usage. In fact, correct today I can’t wager some downside to Chrome Frame.

Review: Google Chrome 3.0

Few new features and a amend Acid3 effort reason exhibit Chrome 3.0 getting up with its rivals
Mozilla Firefox has been discover for more than five years old and is meet at Version 3.0. Apple Safari was originally free sixt yrs back and is at Version 4.0. Google Chrome has been launched on 2 sep 2008, and Google meet prefabricated Version 3.0 available. Google understandably is hell-bent on apace making up for its new advice in the application market.
Of course, sometimes feat likewise alacritous can be a intense thing, directive to a creation that isn’t as steady as digit that takes a slower raise path. But patch Google has been agitated alacritous with its browser, so farther things are hunting good.

Google Chrome 3.0 beta showcases individual new features, most of which are examples of getting up to kindred features in browsers much as Apple Safari, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. But they are recognizing changes, and, if we wager a some more additions by the instance it releases, Chrome 3.0 looks same it will be a worthwhile upgrade.
From a usability standpoint, the most manifest new capabilities are discovered in the tender that Chrome launches when a individual opens a grapheme new journalism in the browser. Chrome 3.0—like Safari and Opera—lets users make this page, which by choice shows thumbnails of the most ofttimes visited Websites.
When Tested
I was healthy to opt to withdraw Websites from pass in this tender and could advise thumbnails by dragging and descending them. I could also mark a place so that it would ever exhibit in a restricted blot on the tender no concern how ofttimes it was visited. It is also doable to pass a itemize of sites, kind of than thumbnails.
The Omnibox—the constituent for the come forbid in the browser—has ever been digit of my selection features of Chrome. Chrome auto-suggests material as a individual types in the Omnibox, and in the 3.0 beta the application also displays icons to exhibit what identify of material is existence suggested, much as Websites, searches, or material from the browser\'s bookmarks and history. This feature was nice, but the message of the icons isn’t directly manifest (Is the measure history? Is the magnifying render search?).
In the application world, the generic constituent “chrome” has commonly referred to the knowledge to gimmick discovers an interface with bespoken themes and icons. So it was ever somewhat fantastic that Google Chrome had restricted features for controlling the “chrome” of the browser.
That\'s every denaturized with the 3.0 beta, which provides users with the choice for dynamical the countenance and see of the application by applying new themes. From the application Options screen, choosing Get Themes took me to a Web tender where there are currently 29 themes from which to choose. This is a pretty base customisation option, but it\'s a start.
Performance
Google has ever emphasized the pace and action of Chrome and with the beta of Version 3.0 the consort is erst again touting the browser\'s speed. I consumed different online action tests and Futuremark’s Peacekeeper criterion (at http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/) to appraise action and discovered that the 3.0 beta did exhibit an transformation over Chrome 2.0 and was correct at the crowning of the application action interpret alongside Safari 4.0.
Standards hold is also existence touted in Chrome 3.0, most noticeably in cost of hold for the expected HTML 5 standard. Like Opera and Firefox 3.5, the Chrome 3.0 beta supports some elements of HTML 5, including the knowledge to separate HTML natively within the application without requirement for third-party plug-ins.
Chrome 3.0 also appears to meliorate on Chrome’s already rattling beatific judgement on the Web Standards Project’s Acid3 test. During my evaluation, the Google Chrome 3.0 achieved a amend reason in the test.

In addition, the aggregation said it has started architecture HTML 5 functionality into the latest release. This includes video tags and web workers, a blueprint that gives web applications thread-like capabilities.

The Omnibox, which suggests web addresses, now includes icons to advice analyze amid appropriate sites, searches, bookmarks and sites from the browsing history.

Chrome now can be customized with themes, although the Capacity Gallery that has been army is preliminary, Google said.

Google Chrome – The Next Internet Explorer

Google's Chrome browser has very less market share as compared to Microsoft Internet Explorer. Yet Microsoft plans to argue to the European Commission that bundling Chrome into Microsoft Windows -- an anti-trust decree the EC wants to impose -- will potentially give Google a monopoly hold on the Internet.

Google knows speed is addictive -- search queen Marissa Mayer has repeatedly said that a few hundred milliseconds per page make a 20 percent difference in how often user’s type a search into Google. One of the company's major goals with Google Chrome browser is to effectively speed up the Internet for end users.

Chrome also came out ahead in an admittedly Google-sponsored computer security test. The reason: The browser automatically updates itself every few days. This means Chrome users are most likely to have the latest security updates installed.

Microsoft's argument may seem comical, but there's a kernel of truth to it: If Google ends up with a majority share of browser users tied to Chrome, and Google's search engine is their most frequent and trusted destination, think of the opportunities for Google to leverage that huge group of people.

Browser Security Handbook Made Public

Google has released its own take on the nature of browser security -- and the ways in which browsers lack it.
The Browser Security Handbook -- which apparently began life as a wiki -- begins with a historical look at what browsers do and how they do it, and builds from that foundation to a detailed and fairly technical look at security concerns, and an examination of the lack of consistency among browsers that, on the surface, appear to be doing the same things.
The text takes Microsoft's Internet Explorer (6and 7), Mozilla's Firefox (2 and 3), Safari, Opera, as well as Google's own Chrome and its mobile browser, Android, and rates them against various tests and security concerns ranging from navigation to same-origin policies (rules regarding content loaded into the browser from sites other than the one currently being viewed) and plenty of in-between. Whether it’s a browser security issue or a computer security issue, contact us at 1 800 602 586, we will help you solve your problem online or by taking the remote of your computer.
As noted in a Google blog last month, the company's rationale for making the material public -- the implication is that some or even much of this was generated for internal use, although that's not completely clear from the brief introduction -- is to "capture the risks and security considerations present for general populace of users accessing the web with default browser settings in place."
As a baseline, this is a good thing, but as the Handbook's author, Michal Zalweski notes, browsers, and particular their plug-ins and enhancements, are remarkably malleable, with many of user-added bells and whistles setting the stage for setting off (or failing to) alarm bells and whistles when they "interfere with existing features in non-obvious ways."

Google Chrome is finally Out of beta

For years, Google’s Gmail has been in beta. And It has been just three months that Google made it official that Chrome is out of beta. But I want to ask a simple question….Where is Mac and Linux Version? And the answer is next year, may be in the first half of the year, but no assured date. Despite the word about the upcoming release of a Windows version, there's still no word on when a version of Google Chrome will be available for Mac or Linux.As for the Windows version, the reviews have mostly been favorable for chrome. As the Browser is good at speed and as Google claims that the speed is 1.4 faster than it was released 3 months ago. Users were complaining about the plug-ins and the performance of Google Chrome, And Google has fixed many of them.

A nice bonus feature is one that bundles all of the options that might impact a user’s privacy in one common place. Basically, if there’s a feature in Chrome that involves accessing or storing information that might identify you or something about you, it will be grouped with all of the other features that might have privacy implications so that users can find them easily and adjust the settings to their comfort levels.  In a blog post, the company said:

“We’ve taken security very seriously from the beginning and we will continue to look for ways to make Google Chrome and all browsers even more secure. Google Chrome’s unique sandbox technology creates an additional layer of defense against harmful software, while the Safe Browsing feature provides protection against phishing and malware attacks for many browser users.”

Just because the beta label has been removed doesn’t mean the updates are finished. The team says that work continues on other features and enhancements such as form autofill and RSS feeds, which are in the works. From here on out, the updates will pretty much come as they’re ready. Unlike Microsoft, which usually makes its upgrades and changes in a broad-swoop version update, Google tends to simply make the update whenever it’s ready to go live.

Firefox is leading the Browser Market

I was going through Matt Cutts blog….few days back … he has written a post about Browser market. Honestly speaking I was not at all surprised to know that Firefox was leading the market. Personally I like Firefox… and who will not like a browser which has more than 300 add ons and extensions. I have downloaded many of them and they are wonderful. Like one of them is of colorful tabs, it will highlight the tab in which you are working and there is one more that you can change between tabs through keyboard… I know that you can do that in other browsers as well… but what you can’t do is …you can’t switch between the last tab you used and the one you are working on. When you press ctrl + tab, it will take you to the next tab which you have opened, but after installing that add-on, you can switch between the last tab you used and the one you are using currently. This add on is really helpful for the people like me, who open so many tabs in one window.

I felt bad for Internet Explorer it’s losing its market day by day… there was a time, when people only used Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has 26.07% of market share. Safari is doing well with 6.48%. And Google Chrome is new market. I was wondering, Google knew well about the market and users…Google knew that browsers are so advanced with so many extensions and add ons, but still it launched Google with not much advanced features. What really amazed me is …still Camino is used in the market??

Following is the market share of Browsers >

Firefox            57.58%

IE        26.07%

Safari   6.48%

Chrome           5.11%

Opera  2.35%

Mozilla            1.44%

SeaMonkey     0.48%

Mozilla Compatible     0.18%

Konqueror       0.13%

Camino            0.04%

Google reveals Chrome extensions plan

Google has published its plan to build into Chrome what is arguably its most requested feature: the ability to accept extensions that can customize how the open-source Web browser operates.

And guess what? Google's dependence on advertising notwithstanding, one of the extension examples the company points to is the ability to block advertisements.

The Chrome extensions document, spotlighted Saturday by Google programmer Aaron Boodman, doesn't include a timeline, but it does shed light on why the project is a priority for Chromium, the open-source project behind Chrome.

"Chromium can't be everything to all people," according to the document. "User-created extensions have been proposed to solve these problems: the addition of features that have specific or limited appeal; users coming from other browsers who are used to certain extensions that they can't live without; bundling partners who would like to add features to Chromium specific to their bundle."

When Google launched Chrome three months ago, it promised a Chrome extensions framework. Extensions are a popular feature of Chrome's most likely rival, Mozilla's Firefox, and one very popular extension is AdBlock Plus.

And AdBlock makes a specific appearance on the list of extension uses that Google said it would like to support eventually:

• Bookmarking/navigation tools: Delicious Toolbar, StumbleUpon, Web-based history, new tab page clipboard accelerators.

• Content enhancements: Skype extension (clickable phone numbers), RealPlayer extension (save video), Autolink (generic microformat data--addresses, phone numbers, etc.)

• Content filtering: AdBlock, Flashblock, privacy control, parental control

• Download helpers: video helpers, download accelerators, DownThemAll, FlashGot

• Features: ForecastFox, FoxyTunes, Web of Trust, GooglePreview, BugMeNot

Demand for extensions is real.

Google Chrome: Plug In Support Updated; Watchdog Slams ‘Privacy Threat’

We’ve been loving the speedy operation of Google’s Chrome browser, but a few glitches - mainly to do with plug in support - have been holding us back from making it our number one browser.

The lack of an adblock plugin has been annoying us, and as power users we still prefer the power and flexibility offered by Firefox’s arsenal of plug ins and add ons.

Google has acknowledged that there’s been problems with Chrome’s support for plugins used to play videos and show PDFs and have just released a new releases which they claim is “packed with plugin fixes,” with early developer-channel users noting a dramatically improved plugin performance.

Mozilla bounces backs from Chrome challenge

Mozilla bounces backs from Chrome challenge

Firefox surpassed a 20% share of the browser market last month, breaking its own records.

The figures, reported by web metrics firm Net Applications, reveal that for two weeks in October the company accounted for 20.6% of all monitored browser traffic.

Despite this, Firefox closed the month with an average traffic share of 19.97%, falling just short of the magic number.

The report will come as good news to Mozilla, which has seen its share bounce back following a half percentage point fall in September, due to the introduction of Google's Chrome browser.

At the contrasting ending of the scale, dominant browser Internet Explorer has seen its share fall 71.52% to 71.27%. The fall marks it out as the browser with the fastest declining market share.

Chrome was also hit by Firefox's gain, with the buzz surrounding its September launch fading, resulting in its share falling to 0.74% from 0.78%.

Indeed the only other browser to to gain during October was Opera, which jumped from 0.69% to 0.75%.

origin of the content," explains Mark Larson, Google Chrome program manager, in his blog 

post.

protected and normal, respectively. The spell checker now works on text input fields and 

allows users to add words to the spell check dictionary. And file downloading has been 

changed to make it more secure.

Chrome is currently a distant fourth in terms of market share. According to Net
