  Bug in Google Chrome

  bugs No Comments

  Between hurricanes and hericanes, you could easily have missed the technology news. Released yesterday in public beta, Google Chrome is a standards-compliant web browser created to erode Microsoft’s browser dominance (i.e. to boost Google’s web dominance) while also rethinking what a browser is and does in the age of web apps and Google’s YouTube.

  The new browser is based on Webkit, the advanced-standards-compliant, open source browser engine that powers Apple’s Safari for Mac and PC, but Chrome currently runs only in Windows. You figure that out.

  Here are the new browser’s terms of service.

  And here’s an important early bug report from Jeremy Jarratt: Google Chrome wrongly displays alternate styles as if active, thus “breaking” websites that use them. (Here’s more about alternate style sheets, from Paul Sowden’s groundbreaking 2001 A List Apart article.)

  Reactions in the internet world - TheChromeBlog.NET

  Info No Comments

  The announcement of the lunch of Google Chrome made in early September can be considered the most important event of the year not only because Google tends to revolutionize the internet browsing experience but also because  it comes as a strong competitor for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Some rumors in the web world say that Chrome was designed to be Explorer’s killer and by lunching Chrome, Google declared war to Microsoft. They say that this new browser by Google is only the first step of an operating systems revolution. In the future we’ll may be using an application of this kind for all our computer related work. So, Chrome is Explorer’s killer only on short term. In a long shot Google plans to take down Microsoft’s top product, Windows.
  Beside this rumors Chrome made a lot of people curious. These people immediately wanted to try out Google Chrome. They’ve downloaded it from google.com and off to a new web browsing experience. The first reaction: stunned by the user friendly interface, simple and efficient. When these curios internet users began surfing they were even more impressed of what Chrome can do. They’ve experienced a much safer, faster and reliable web surfing session.
  Generally the online world is happy with what Google managed to achieve with its Chrome. Even though Chrome is available for all users, Google admits that his web browser is far from being completed. There is still a lot of work to be done and Google is open to any suggestions for improvement coming from users.

  Why I never trust new browsers - Chrome included

  A new article made by Roger Grimes for InfoWorld dot com, Why I never trust new browsers and Chrome is included!

  Google’s Chrome is a worthy option in the browser battles, but far from perfect from a security perspective

  Google released its new, open source, browser, called Chrome, a few days ago. You can download it from Google’s home page. It’s a pretty, clean, fast browser. [As a Microsoft employee], I welcome the competition. Competition is always good and improves everyone’s product.

  As a security guy, I wondered how well Chrome would prevail against malicious misuse. One of Chrome’s benefits is that it is relatively smaller, code-wise, than its nearest competitors (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and so on). Less code could mean less potential exploit vectors and bugs. It will be a year or so before we can see how well it fares overall, but it isn’t off to a stellar start.

  [ Check out InfoWorld's Special Report for all the news, reviews, and commentary on Google's open source Chrome browser. ]

  There were at least three announced Chrome exploits in the first two days. The first exploit showed that Chrome could be tricked into silently downloading executables to local user locations. After this exploit was announced came the expected rash of novice defenses stating that just because something is downloaded to a user’s desktop doesn’t mean it is executed, and therefore the user is safe. Yeah, right. Apparently you’re new to computing and haven’t learned that stage one of the exploit (the hardest part) is always followed by stage two, where someone else teaches us how to silently execute that code ..

  Let’s take a look under Chrome’s hood

  Info 1 Comment

  First of all we should mention its new JavaScript engine V8 meant to give more strength to the browser. This power opens the road for future web applications that were impossible to run with today’s common browsers.
  Because of its engine Google Chrome is capable of running our day to day complex web applications in a more secure and fast way. For example each tab was made to be an isolated “sandbox”. This feature resolves a stability problem of all the other browsers because if one tab crashes for different reasons, the other can function normally without any data loss.
  Beside speed and independent tabs Google Chrome has also other cool features that can make him the next generation web browser. Here is the top 10 of this browser’s coolest features:

  • One box for everything
  • New Tab page
  • Application shortcuts
  • Dynamic tabs
  • Crash control
  • Incognito mode
  • Safe browsing
  • Instant bookmarks
  • Importing settings
  • Simpler downloads

  After taking a look at Google Chrome we can clearly see why he is better than all the other tools of its kind. It has more speed due to his JavaScript V8 engine, more stability given by his independent tab feature, a much safer browsing and last but not list a more user friendly interface characterized by simplicity and reliability.
