Google Chrome (Internet Tools)

Here's a look at Google Chrome:

What is it? In essence it is a new web browser that is in development by google. It's probably the first browser with an inbuilt anti-phishing and malware system that checks a constantly updated library manned by Google.

By being the world's premier search engine, there is incalculable data on sites and how they are accessed. And of course this allows for Google to maintain a super updated if not real time library of these harmful sites. Besides that, how does it fare against its competitors such as Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox? Sadly the most stable version still has some catching up to do interms of Acid testing compared to Opera and Firefox.

What other features does it have? It's a very security based browser that doesn't allow read write operations intiated from the browser. Very prudent sandbox design that seems to follow what Java tried to do with their security concious web applets. But because it currently only has 1.29% of the internet population using chrome, there would be some time before we see if such a browser is resistant to hackers & crackers attempts to mess it up.
