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.

Google claims 30 percent Chrome speed boost

Google has shifted the JavaScript engine that powers its Chrome Web browser into a higher gear.

The company announced Thursday that an update to Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, combined with a new version of the Webkit browser engine, should improve the loading speed of JavaScript-heavy Web pages by up to 30 percent. The updates will be automatically downloaded to existing copies of Chrome.

JavaScript engines are one of the new fronts in the browser wars, with various vendors touting the performance of their browsers this year in hopes of unseating the competition. Chrome did very well on CNET JavaScript tests earlier this year, besting Firefox browser, Safari browser, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Google also announced a few other changes to Chrome browser , including the addition of new features that let you erase embarrassing (or NSFW) Web sites from the most-visited list that appears when you open a new tab in Chrome. And Chrome now has a feature found in many browsers: form auto fill.

Google airs Google Chrome on TV

Google has taken a new initiative to promote Google Chrome browser. Earlier there was news that Google chrome browser would come pre installed in Computers, just to increase its usage and popularity. I have Google Chrome installed at my office where I use Microsoft windows XP and at my home as well where I use Microsoft windows vista. I think the speed on the both the operating system is like lightning.

Google plans to make its first foray into the old-fashioned world of television advertising with spots promoting its Chrome browser this weekend.

Google Japan had already released a 30-second video promoting Google Chrome browser on YouTube, but the company will distribute that video through the Google TV Ads network this weekend as an experiment to see if it can drum up interest in Chrome, its new browser. Google said it's using the research it has done on measuring the relevance of television ads in order to place the Chrome ad appropriately.

Chrome was also featured as part of a huge ad on the front page of The New York Times' Web site Friday, with several different videos promoting the browser. Those are also available, of course, on YouTube.

For a consumer brand of sits size, Google does relatively little advertising. It put Chrome ads on YouTube in January, but "house ads" are a little different than network television exposure. Likewise, T-Mobile advertises the "G1 with Google" in hyping up the Android-powered G1, but that's not exactly the same as making Google the focus of the ad.

Google Chrome security fix is reissued by Google

Google fixed security issues with a new release of its stable version of Google Chrome browser -- then released a replacement shortly afterward to prevent a batch of crashes that turned up as well.

Chrome 1.0.154.64 emerged Tuesday and was intended to fix one critical security problem and one high-severity one. On Thursday, came 1.0.154.65 to fix a crash during startup that affected "a small percentage of users," said Google Chrome Program Manager Mark Larson.

With the first problem, an attacker under some circumstances could run attack software with the same privilege as the computer user.

With the second, an issue handling 2D graphics could potentially allow a specially crafted image to crash a tab and run an attacker's code within Chrome's sandbox security isolation system.

Google Chrome Caught in Vulnerability Web

Google updates Google Chrome to fix a security vulnerability that would allow hackers to launch universal cross-site scripting attacks. The flaw affects users with the Chrome Web browser installed who visit a malicious Web page with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The Google Chrome Web browser has found itself at the center of a security issue that could lead to cross-site scripting attacks.

Google Chrome has been updated to 1.0.154.59 to fix security vulnerability in the handling of ChromeHTML URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) that allows an attacker to bypass the Same Origin Policy for any site and enumerate victim's files and directories.

"If a user has Google Chrome installed, visiting an attacker-controlled Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer could have caused Google Chrome to launch, open multiple tabs and load scripts that run after navigating to a URL of the attacker's choice," the advisory stated.

The vulnerability was discovered by IBM security researcher Roi Saltzman, who noted in a blog post that the processing of URL protocol handlers has been an ongoing issue with Internet Explorer. A similar situation was uncovered in 2007 involving Internet Explorer and Firefox.

"These issues pose a major threat to any user that browses a maliciously crafted page using Internet Explorer and has Google Chrome installed alongside," Saltzman wrote. "It is important to note that the way Internet Explorer processes URL protocol handlers is a known Achilles' heel and has been widely used previously to attack other various applications."

Google Toolbar updated with My Location

Google has updated and added new features to its new Toolbar 6 Beta with the new feature of My location which is similar to Google latitude services which were launched in February. Google has already launched it’s my location feature in mobile phones. With My Location enabled, Toolbar searches are matched to your computer's IP address: everything you seek is now also seeking you. It can scour your Wi-Fi IP address as well, making it easier to find a "better" Starbucks from your current Starbucks.

You can easily download this feature on your Microsoft windows. Beware attempting to access My Location from behind a firewall. Google Toolbar with My Location features is oddly only available on Internet Explorer 6.0+. But not on Google Chrome.

Google updated Chrome browser to boost speed

Google has updated the development build of the Google Chrome with a new feature which allows editing thumbnails on a new tab page. Earlier Chrome use to show the recently closed website on a thumbnail, now the new tab option is embedded in the contextual menu on the tab bar, as well as Undo Tab Close feature. But unfortunately, user can’t disable tab thumbnails on a new tab page completely, leaving only the list of recently closed tabs, windows and past searches.

It’s not over yet, Google made little more minor adjustment about how Chrome handles text coping. For computer security purposes, it’s no longer possible to cut or copy from a password text-field. The new Ctrl+Shift+Arrow key combo switches change in text direction in right-to-left user interfaces. The browser also support Ctrl +Shift text alignment based on which side of the keyboard those keys are pressed. Finally, this development version of Chrome fixed several bugs related to Google Calendar widget, text disappearance in certain web apps, mouse wheel and vertical scrollbar, form auto fill and history deletion while in Incognito mode.

Browsers speed test

Few days back a test was made on the browsers speed... in which Google Chrome proved itself as the faster leaving behind Firefox browser, Internet Explorer, Apple’s newly launched safari.

These browsers were set to open these sites at the same time, some of them were en.wikipedia.org, youtube.com, amazon.com, microsoft.com, yahoo.com, apple.com, myspace.com.

Google Chrome loaded all of these pages before other browsers could load them. Its average time to load nine pages was about 1.3 seconds. The only Site which Chrome was not able to load faster was apple.com which was loaded first by safari browser. The test was done on Windows Vista service pack 1 and the operating systems were reinstalled.

Chrome’s performance was very impressive in loading Wikipedia’s English-language home page, which it loaded in 1.12 seconds, compared to IE 8’s 2.24 seconds, Firefox’s 3.31 seconds and Safari’s 3.38 seconds.

Although Microsoft claimed IE 8 is now the fasted browser out there, it finished with an average page load time across all nine sites in this test of 1.8 seconds. Safari and Firefox tied for third with average page load times of 2.12 seconds.

For Mac users licking their chops at finally getting their hands on Google Chrome, the wait may not be much longer. By the end of this year surely... we can expect Mac version for Google Chrome.
