Screen real estate is all the rage, especially on mobile devices, but Google is clearly trying to strip down and simplify ALL browsing solutions so that users have the most space available for consuming content. In Chrome this means tabs on the top with a back/forward/reload buttons, an Omnibar and a couple other tiny options. […]

There is definitely reason to get excited about the latest build of Chrome Browser which is Version 11 Beta. It features 2 new huge inclusions besides the trivial addition of the shiny new Chrome logo – Speech-to-text and 3D CSS! I’m really excited about the use of Voice-to-text because I use it absolutely ALL the […]

The good folks at LifeHacker have spent their fair share of time with web browsers and occasionally they do some in-depth testing on their speed and performance. The latest tests are slightly concerning for several reasons. I was surprised, for example, that Chrome didn’t win the CSS loading trophy: Opera not only defeated both Chrome […]

Google recently announced a new stable version of Chrome as they often do on their Chromium Releases Blog. But this time, they felt it necessary to extend their announcement and offer a little insight. In a post on the Chromium Blog they explain some new features of the now public Chrome 10: Flash sandboxing is […]

A couple weeks ago we told you about how Chrome Beta got quicker. Now Google has extended the speed increases to everyone with stable push and announcement. Not only that, the switch was also flipped on other accessibility and cloud-syncing options like stored passwords for certain sites. That immediately made me a bit nervous… Google […]

Google continues to build new features into Chrome for both consumers and developers but their latest announcement proves they aren’t ONLY thinking about what’s shiny and new but also what’s timeless and necessary. They’ve just announced a bunch of developer tool additions that allow devs deeper access to the information they need. Along with the […]

The rest of the country shouldn’t fret… the feature is coming later this year to 16 countries and Google has just unleashed a developer preview enabling the feature in the back-end (although not visible on the […]

Google claimed their must be some coincidence between Chrome and the Chinese Calendar because 2011 is the “Year of the Rabbit” and recent updates they’ve made (and will continue to make) focus on speed. The latest beta supposedly chomps through Java at lighnting speeds and rushes through the V8 benchmarks with a full 66% performance […]

You might remember that last year, Google launched their first ever Super Bowl Ad called Parisian Love. Many experts were surprised that they chose to advertise their search engine, which is already ubiquitous, rather than their rapidly growing Android Mobile OS. Here we are a week away from the Super Bowl thinking, “What will Google […]

All the people who whined and complained they hadn’t yet received a Cr-48? Yeah, they probably still haven’t received one. But those who waited patiently haven’t only been put on Santa’s good list almost 11 months in advance, they’ve also been blessed with an extra bonus when their Cr-48 DID arrive. Apparently those now receiving […]

Another Chrome App Maker has come out of the woodworks to not only offer their support for Chrome, but also pimp their brand new Cr-48 Chrome Netbook and offer it up as a prize for those trying out the Box.net Chrome App from the Web Store. You can easily set up a free personal account […]
