Google Chrome was released on 2 September 2008.

Features I like

Flash plugin has died
  • Firefox users who love their web tools plugins will be glad to know that Google Chrome has a built-in "Inspect element" feature which works the same way Firebug does - you can do editing on the fly, and track metrics and resources usage.
  • Task Manager allows you to view the memory usage of each tab in every single browser that is open if you click "Stats for Nerds". Wicked.
  • Incognito window - cookies will not be stored and urlwill not appear in your browsing history [Shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + N]
  • When too many Javascript alerts appear from the same page, Chrome prompts you to stop all alerts.
  • Adorable sad face appears to placate you when things crash... (see above)

Features it doesn't have yet

  • Add-ons (but naturally this will take some time)

Shortcut

  • Ctrl+Shift+N: Open a new window in incognito mode
  • Ctrl+Shift+T: Reopen the last closed tabs (up to 10).
  • Ctrl+O: Open a file from your computer in Google Chrome
  • Ctrl+B: Toggle bookmarks bar on and off
  • Ctrl+H: View the History page
  • Ctrl+J: View the Downloads page
  • Shift+Escape: View the Task manager
  • F6 or Ctrl+L or Alt+D: Highlight content in the web address area
  • Type a web address, then press Alt+Enter: Open your web address in a new tab
