Fun Facts
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.
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.

Chromium works closely with companies such
as linux, Apple,Ubunto,Moblin- a derivative of
linux and WebKit.
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.
Google chrome has a code
called google chrome frame, that
allows browsers to use tools like HTML5
canvas tag,and technologies not availble
to some pcs.This gives users offline modes,
better, more alert notifications, and better
access points.

different tabs in 15 seconds.

javascript)

get at the bottom of the browser page, in a tab, and
shows all downloads made in the browsing session.
