Google chrome beta web browser:
Advantage: Nice look and feel, fast, tabbed browsing, advanced security.
Security: Google promises that the Chrome is extremely secure. There’s a privacy mode called “Incognito” in Chrome. It allows you to secure the Pages whatever you view in the main window by not displaying in your browser history or search history, and it won’t leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window.
Usability: It has a single box for Search, history and address bar.
It facilitates tabbed browsing. Tabs are positioned at the top of the window. This will make the navigation faster and easier. Apart from this, Chrome displays 9 most visited web sites and sites most often searched on the home page.
Performance: Chrome uses a new JavaScript engine called V8 for faster performance.
It is much faster at showing Web pages than the most widely used browser, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer

Bottom Line
Google Chrome represents a fresh take on browser design. Its fully isolated, multiprocess architecture should prove more robust than IE 8′s, while its clean UI and lack of legacy baggage – plus some innovative JavaScript tuning – should help it gain a strong fan base. What remains to be seen is how Google will exploit its technical advantages for its own applications without alienating customers who have standardized on other browser platforms.
Internet Explorer 8 takes Microsoft’s creaking browser architecture and injects it with some much needed life. The sturdier, multiprocess design means that most crashes will be isolated to a single tab, while the new “porn mode” and quick-access tools (Accelerators, Web Slices) make browsing more efficient. IE 8′s hefty system requirements could slow adoption until Windows 7 debuts late next year.
