Article Title: Google launches Chrome browser. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
In the early morning of August 1, Beijing time, Google launched the Google Chrome browser for more than 100 countries around the world in the early morning. Currently, Google browser beta versions support 43 languages, similar to users' expectations for Google products, Google Chrome focuses on ease of operation and functionality.
Google said that in the early Internet era, web pages are usually similar to simple text pages, and now the internet has gradually developed into a powerful platform, users can not only communicate with friends and colleagues through Email and other network applications, but also edit documents, watch videos, listen to music, and manage bank accounts. Google's browser is designed based on the current Internet to cope with the many network applications that may emerge in the future.
"We think that browsers are the windows for accessing the internet-for users, browsers are used to interact with websites and network applications. it is very important to continue this experience ." Sundar Pichai, vice president of Google's global products, said, "like the classic Google homepage, Google's simple user interface is backed by leading core technologies to support users to browse today's network ."
Google said that Google's browser will provide users with a better network experience, making it easier for users to search and find the desired content as soon as possible.
In terms of features, the address bar of the browser integrates the search function. you only need to click a few times to find the required information as soon as possible. In addition, when you open a new tab in Google's browser, you will see some thumbnails, including previously visited websites, the latest search results, and bookmarklist pages, allows users to easily browse webpages.
Google emphasizes that Google's core design philosophy is a multi-process processing platform that provides users with stronger stability and security. Each browser window runs independently. tabs are relatively independent. Once a tab cannot run normally or be closed, other tabs will not be affected, you can proceed without shutting down the entire Google browser.
In addition, Google Chrome has built a more powerful JavaScript engine V8 to provide support for the next generation of network application technology, which is almost impossible in the current browser.
Google also said that Google Chrome is an open source software that will contribute to browser innovation through open source.
"We regard Google browser as a product that can completely change people's understanding of browsers, and we realize that Google browser cannot be developed independently through its own strength ." "Google's R & D architecture is based on other open-source projects that have contributed significantly to competition and innovation," said Linus Upson, Google's global R & D director ."
To further promote the openness of the network, all the code of Google's browser is open-source. this open-source project is called Chromium. Google hopes to promote the healthy development of the Internet by making public the infrastructure of Google's browser while improving the performance of Google's browser.
Google stressed that Google Chrome is still in the beta stage, and the coming version is only applicable to Windows systems, but Mac and Linux versions will be launched soon.
