Google Chrome




 Google Chrome


 Google Chrome is a freeware web browser[10] developed by Google. It used the WebKit layout engine until version 27 and, with the exception of its iOS releases, from version 28 and beyond uses the WebKit fork Blink.[11][12][13] It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008.


Features

Google Chrome aims to be secure, fast, simple[146] and stable. There are extensive differences from its peers in Chrome's minimalistic user interface,[21] which is atypical of modern web browsers.[147] For example, Chrome does not render RSS feeds.[148] One of Chrome's strengths is its application performance and JavaScript processing speed, both of which were independently verified by multiple websites to be the swiftest among the major browsers of its time.[149][150] Many of Chrome's unique features had been previously announced by other browser developers, but Google was the first to implement and publicly release them

Bookmarks and settings synchronisation

Chrome allows users to synchronize their bookmarks, history, and settings across all devices with the browser installed by sending and receiving data through a chosen Google Account

Security

Chrome periodically retrieves updates of two blacklists (one for phishing and one for malware), and warns users when they attempt to visit a site Chrome sees as potentially harmful. This service is also made available for use by others via a free public API called "Google Safe Browsing API".[21]
Chrome uses a complex process-allocation model to allocate different tabs to fit into different processes to prevent what happens in one tab from affecting what happens in others

Plugins

  • Chrome supports plug-ins with the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI),[176] so that plug-ins (for example Adobe Flash Player) run as an unrestricted separate process outside the browser and cannot be sandboxed as tabs are. ActiveX is not supported.[176] On March 30, 2010 Google announced that the latest development version of Chrome would bundle Adobe Flash with the browser, eliminating the need to download and install it separately. Flash would be kept up to date as part of Chrome's own updates.[177] Java applet support is available in Chrome with Java 6 update 12 and above.[178] Support for Java under OS X was provided by a Java Update released on May 18, 2010.[179]
  • On August 12, 2009, Google introduced a replacement for NPAPI that is more portable and more secure[180] called Pepper Plugin API (PPAPI).[181] The default bundled PPAPI Flash Player (or Pepper-based Flash Player) was available on Chrome OS first, then replaced the NPAPI Flash Player on Linux from Chrome version 20, on Windows from version 21 (which also reduced Flash crashes by 20%),[182] and eventually came to OS X at version 23.[103]
  • On September 23, 2013 Google announced that it will be deprecating and then removing NPAPI support. NPAPI support was removed from Linux in Chrome release 35.[183] This does mean NPAPI plugins like Java can no longer work in Chrome.[184]

    Starting with Google Chrome 3.0, users can install themes to alter the appearance of the browser.[248] Many free third-party themes are provided in an online gallery,[249] accessible through a "Get themes" button in Chrome's options.[250]
