Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design
with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier to surf through..
javascript:counttag('Google Chrome', 1, 1862529)"; href="/tags/google-chrome/" onclick="javascript:LinkToPage('','link_id=110')">Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google in December 2008. 
Main features of Google chrome:
Security

Chrome periodically downloads updates of two blacklists (one for phishing and one for malware), and warns users when they attempt to visit a harmful site. This service is also made available for use by others via a free public API called "Google Safe Browsing API". Google notifies the owners of listed sites who may not be aware of the presence of the harmful software.
Speed

The JavaScript virtual machine was considered a sufficiently important project to be split off (as was Adobe/Mozilla's Tamarin) and handled by a separate team in Denmark. According to Google, existing implementations were designed "for small programs, where the performance and interactivity of the system weren't that important," but web applications such as Gmail "are using the web browser to the fullest when it comes to DOM manipulations and Javascript." The resulting V8 JavaScript engine has features such as hidden class transitions, dynamic code generation, and precise garbage collection. Tests by Google showed that V8 was about twice as fast as Firefox 3.0 and the Safari 4 beta.
It has also got more features like Application shortcuts,Dynamic tabs,Crash control,Incognito mode,Instant bookmarks,Importing settings,Simpler downloads.
Incognito browsing mode
Google Chrome offers the incognito browsing mode. Web pages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito won't be logged in your browsing and download histories; all new cookies are deleted after you close the incognito window. You can browse normally and in incognito mode at the same time by using separate windows.
