Google Chrome’s most striking feature and a substantial factor in its
popularity - the simple UI hasn’t changed much since the beta launch in
2008. Google focused on trimming down unnecessary toolbar space to
maximise browsing real estate. The browser is made up of 3 rows of
tools, the top layer horizontally stacks automatically adjusting tabs,
next to a simple new tabs icon and the standard minimize, expand &
close windows controls. The middle row includes 3 navigation controls
(Back, Forward & Stop/Refresh), a URL box which also allows direct
Google web searching and a star bookmarking icon. Extensions and browser
settings icons line up to the right of the URL box. The third row is
made up of bookmark folders and installed apps. Easily overlooked now,
this clean UI was a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded
toolbars of popular browsers pre-2008.
Google Chrome, or Chrome, is a web browser software that tries to compete with major players, such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and even the Opera web browser. It is available for the Linux, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. But Google Chrome is more than a web browser, as it combines sophisticated open source technology, borrowed from the Chromium application, into a minimal design, all in order to help users surf the web much faster, a lot easier, and safer than ever before.

Security
Chrome’s Sandboxing prevents malware automatically installing on your
computer or affecting other browser tabs. Chrome also has Safe Browsing
technology built in with malware and phishing protection that warns you
if you encounter a website suspected of containing malicious
software/activity. Regular automatic updates ensure security features
are up to date and effective.
Features at a glance
A unique functionality
of the Google Chrome application is its ability to search the web
directly from the address bar. Just type one or more words in the
address bar and immediately get suggestions for popular web pages. The
application displays thumbnails of your top websites on the new tab
page, a function that is popularly called Speed Dial. This functionality
is also available on other similar products, and it allows you to
easily access your favorite web pages instantly, with lightning speed,
from any new tab.
