7. Google Chrome was designed to be a faster, safer, and more efficient search engine, that allows you to monitor one search, while freely, and completely separately, running another document on the same page. * This has been helpful if there is a problem with one page opening, you can : a) pinpoint where the problem is coming from specifically b) you can illiminate it without having it affect the rest of the open pages/ documents.

8. Fun Facts google chrome was initially designed in a danish barn, since Bak wanted to live in Danes, and not in California. ( home of the googleplex.)

9. About Google Chrome This has been a six year project in development, and was finally published on September 3 of 2008. Scott mcCloud, a comic, presented a cartoon 2 days prior that describes the goals and options available through Google Chrome.The project was originally designed by a man named Lars Bak, who was Danish.

10. Chromium works closely with companies such as linux, Apple,Ubunto,Moblin- a derivative of linux and WebKit. Chrome is actually an open source and is under the name of Chromium. ( this means people can see the development of the program, as it's happening. Advancement ---> there is also chromium OS now, which a bit more advanced version of chromium, designed more for netbooks.

11. Google Chrome is a beta version of a web browser that and uses the V8 javascript engine that most browsing pages have not yet begun to use. G oogle chrome has a code called google chrome frame, that allows browsers to use tools like HTML 5 canvas tag, and technologies not availble to some pcs. This gives users offline modes, better, more alert notifications, and better access points.
