The latest stable release of Google's Chrome web
browser features autocomplete and a web protection
function.
When you start typing in the omnibox and the URL
autocompletes to a site you?re very likely to visit,
Chrome will prerender the page, so it will appear
faster--sometimes, even instantly--as soon as you hit
Enter.
On the security front, in addition to checking a list
of known bad files, Chrome also does checks on
executable files (like ".exe" and ".msi" files). If
the executable doesn't match a whitelist, Chrome
checks with Google for more information, such as
whether the website you're accessing hosts a high
number of malicious downloads.
In the near future, Google will also begin rolling out
updates to Chrome OS to further simplify the
Chromebook experience. With a new image editor,
Chromebook users will be able to quickly view, edit
and share photos on the web. Users will also see an
improved Verizon 3G activation portal, which includes
the ability to set up a recurring purchase of mobile
data.
Chrome is available for download here. |
