Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta: The program combines minimalist design and unprecedented technologies

Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta is a browser designed to make the web faster, easier and safer, with minimal design, which imposes no. The program combines minimalist design and unprecedented technologies. It has been developed under the motto "One box for everything". Search the Web. History of surfing. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your needs in sarfirane.Vseki time you open a new tab, you are clearly most visited sites, most used search engines and recently bookmarked pages and closed tabs.

Allows you to use web apps without opening your browser. You can upload favorite online applications directly from the shortcuts to them. Allows you to drag tabs from the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs as you want - quickly and easily. Every tab you're using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it will not affect the remaining sections.

If you do not want pages you visit to show up in your sites, select the incognito mode for private browsing. Chrome warns if there is a risk to visit a suspected phishing site, malware or other security threat

There is much to tell about Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta, the browser that Google has launched and promises to hit hard in the war against its competitors.

At the moment it is just a beta and is available on Windows, but versions for Linux and Mac OS X are under preparation and will be released soon.

Google wants to bet heavily on Chrome and demonstrates doing something rarely seen by modifying the start page of the browser and displaying a link for downloading.

Just run it, first thing that catches the attention of this browser is its high speed and load interface austere, almost nonexistent, focusing on the tabs and in an address bar and tools. I do not like, therefore, do not use the system default window of Windows, but deploy their own buttons to close, minimize and maximize the window. In return, the tabs take up less screen space by integrating with the top bar.

In the address bar, called Omnibox stressed that these parts differ by color, showing the domain in black and the rest in gray, whereas if estamoos on a secure page, the https is displayed in green to indicate.

The mixture Omnibox address bar with the search bar, so that when we started writing shows us the various options available, from using the default search results to suggestions.

For those worried that Google uses the browser to enforce the use of their products enough to say that has imported the Internet Explorer preferences and used the default search engine, which was Live Search. In any case, this can be changed from options

The default display when you open a new tab draws heavily on the Speed-dial in Opera. In the case of Google Chrome is not necessary to customize it, as is being created navigation data. So show us shortcuts to the most visited pages, our bookmarks, recently closed tabs, ...

Markers, but are accessible from the new tabs also have their own bar, which can be turned on and off with Ctrl + B, as in other browsers, and manage from there, so moving, and delete, edit, ...

The history that incorporates Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta is one of the most powerful we've tested, allowing searches not only titles or addresses, but in the content of the page, so you retrieve that page that we do not know that server was just stating some text will be easier to remember.

Furthermore, the result of the searches shows a small preview of each of the pages found.

One of the salient features of Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta is that each tab runs in its own process, so that the behavior of not affecting the rest. In fact, testing a tab is closed, probably by a crash of some element, but the rest of the browser and is unfazed.

For each of these processes have a viewfinder, which we examine the amount of CPU and memory used by each of them, something very useful for developers, but also for advanced users who will see the pages which are use more resources.

As shown in the image, including external plug-ins such as Flash, are shown in this process viewer, where we can remove them if necessary.

Many things left in the ink with these first impressions, but in applications such intensive need to check its operation and long term performance. Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta features a customizable interface and a little austere, but a big potential.

No plugins available, but its developers have said they are implementing an API to make this possible, so an extension system like Firefox is expected in the future.

Some of the things that I have liked the way they move through the tabs using Ctrl + Tab, simply by cycling between the different tabs open, without further selection options. Something similar happens when you close a tab, showing which is on your right instead of the last one was selected as in Opera, which is very convenient.

Another failure is that when you select a file (eg to upload images of this entry) can not move the following fields using the tabulator.

In short, this is a beta so the number of failures must be high and not a matter of naming them all. Hopefully, since Google will be able to further improve Google Chrome 4.0.249.2 Beta and soon launch versions for Mac OS X and Linux. It now seems to have a promising future, but not a panacea or a browser for everyday use.
