What about the Chrome browser?

1. Browser tab bar, the majority of the browser before chrome out of the tab bar are placed in the bottom of the ground bar (ie when even the tab bar are wood), the first time when Chrome was surprised it's tab design, located in the top of the address bar to trapezoidal style appearance, a very deep visual impression Blink) is different from other browsers.

When maximizing chrome and browsing, it is understandable why Chrome is designed to place the tab bar above the address bar. Under Windows, when the user maximizes chrome, its border disappears and the tab bar is positioned on the top line of the entire screen. Why is it that the tab bar is designed so that don ' t makes user think? First, we introduce the common sense--fitts law of an interactive theory, which refers to:

The time to reach a target using a pointing device is related to two factors:

1. The distance between the current position and the target position of the equipment;

2. The size of the target. The tab bar at the top is actually a flexible application of the Fitts law, because the cursor is impossible to run out of the screen, so users can casually move the cursor up, the cursor is definitely on the tab bar (tab bar is more easily selected), which reduces the difficulty of pointing the cursor, saving the user time. We can see a more famous example, Apple's app menu bar contrasts with Windows ' Application menu bar, where Windows has always been designed to put menu bar under the application's title bar, and OS X takes a completely different design, fixing the menu bar at the top of the screen (note the red-framed part of the picture). The average person doesn't have much of a sense of the two designs, but when we apply the Fitts law, we find that OS X puts the menu bar at the top of the screen, and even though the moving distance gets longer, the size of the target becomes "infinity".

Another tab bar design, the user in the Browse window open too much, need to close the case, Chrome tab has a very user-friendly design-tab automatically moved to the current mouse position. Believe that many Chrome users should be impressed with this, when the user closes the tab bar, the TAB key moves from right to left, the user closes from the Rightmost tab bar, the tab closes from left to right, and the tab adjusts the width after the user waits for a period of time without closing To ensure that the tab is off the icon during the user's operation has been under the mouse), details Ah, these details have blinded my eyes. Cause the user does not have to move with the mouse when the Continuous multiple tab closes, only needs to click, click, click ... Don ' t make me

2.ToolBar, concise, extremely concise, just installed a good browser ToolBar concise I can only enter the address. Toolbar lists the features most needed by the user: back, forward, refresh, input boxes, settings, only 5, the number of short-term memory within the ability to reduce the user's cognitive burden, at this point the user focus on the browsing itself, almost no need for the browser to do additional learning.

3. Input box, the same with the input properties of the address bar and the search box fusion, cause this input box to become a very complex system, only in the input part of this box can enter the address (nonsense), search local history, search local collection, search Chrome plug-ins, reference other search engines ... Chrome combines these organically, all the users need to do is input, and the results are already listed. Chrome tries to simplify all the things that users do before they reach the browsing page, for example, the user enters http://zhihu.com into the Web site, and the next time the user tries to enter the input, the user enters the first letter Z, and Chrome automatically makes the user's fill ( Currently only support URL completion, but also users have visited the site, this setting is very good, the details do not express their own thinking it, then see what the user to take action, enter (open the page) or the TAB key.

Personally, the chrome input box can also be used for the Chinese use of a deeper level of design, can make the input box more optimized.

4. Background sync, this is the same function of God, almost all information can be synchronized, look at the following figure set the options can be understood (of course, these settings users do not have to go to the tube, the default synchronization is good), to ensure that multi-platform, multi-terminal in a certain degree of experience on the same, This function is designed to reduce the user's repetitive operation and settings.

5.Loading, this is in the end, and very few people notice the Loading, which is what we call the progress bar, because there was a time when I wanted to be able to explain the speed of chrome from a non technical point of view, so I have a certain understanding of the chrome progress bar. When the page is loading, the tab on the left has a constantly scrolling one-fourth circle of small ring, initially in a counterclockwise direction slowly, this time the loading state may be resolved DNS, and try to connect with the server, when the connection successfully started loading server data, The small ring rotates at a clockwise speed (see chart below). Such an effective design allows users to clearly know the current state of loading, and the results have an intuitive expectation (has been counter-clockwise users can decisively close the page). At the same time, this design makes me feel faster when loading server data (with a counterclockwise slow contrast), and emotionally let me think of the hours played behind the pull-type car, pull back the car collection kinetic energy, let go after the wheel on the fast run ^_^, this is the chrome designers to the details of the grasp, The simple rotation is given by the designer a completely different meaning, even if the user does not understand the technical details, from the dynamic display can understand a.

6.ctrl+f Search, if the current highlighted text is searched bar stall, search bar will be removed! This detail is awesome!!

Finally I saw an interesting picture on the Internet, I think when you use the Chrome browser, you should not be thinking about using other browsers.
