Google isn't just a search engine anymore.
Last week, the company unveiled its own Web
browser, Google Chrome.
The browser aims to create a more simplistic
experience on today s application-based U<b,
according to a Google press release.
Like Googles Web page. Google Chrome is
based on simplicity and power.
“It gets out of your way and gets you where
you want to go," Googles Web site states.
The browser is designed to be as i......
as possible and lake up minimal space

said in an e-mail.
“I think it's incredible.
said Matthew
Information
specialist. “It's much
faster than Firefox. Safari
ami (Microsoft Internet]
Explorer."
It is powered by V8, a
.JavaScript engine which
helps speed up Web appli-
cations, Penner said.
“It's so
technology that makes
Google Chrome fast and
stable," she said.
The browser's best
feature is its high speed.
Burks, a microbiology
and biochemistry senior,
said The home page takes less than half a sec-
ond t« open, he said. Additionally, the browsers
home page shows the user's nine most visited
Web sites as small snapshots.
“You can immediately know what you were
looking for," said Burks, who uses Google
Chrome as his main browset
stream browser, he said
“Additionally, there is
a security vulnerability
in the beta version. <>l
IT suggests you do not
install Chrome on your
computer until Google
addresses this issue, he
said.
Google Chrome could
heighten the rivalry in tin-
competitive browser mar- | <
ket. Burks said.
Internet Explorer is
used by more than 90
percent of the consumer
market and is the dr-fault
on most machines. Burks
said.
Microsoft Internet
Explorer 8 is the company's most recent ver-
sion, Dean llachamovitch, general manager ot
Internet Explorer, said in an e-mail.
-Web browsing is crucially important for
hundreds of millions of people, which is why
we invest in internet Explorer so 1?
llachamovitch said
Another feature of Google Chrome is isolated
tabs, Penner said. Google designed each tab
to act as a stand-alone browser, so if one tab
crashes, the others will be unaffected.
Burks said this is not always true.
“That's what they say, but it has crashed the
whole browser before when one of my tabs froze
up." he said. “It’s still in beta, so you can't blame
them. It’s just a theory."
Google Chrome also allows for secure Neb
browsing. It displays a warning message before
ent ering a potentially harmful site, according to
Google's Web site.
Additionally, users can enter incognito mode,
a safe mode, which allows them to delete their
surfing history after they close the window, the
Web site stated.
The browser is still in beta testing and only
available for Windows. According to Googles
Web site, it is working on building a version for
Mac. . , ,
Many consumers can wait until the beta peri-
od ends to download the browser, Nick Key. I I
