Description of Google Chrome 20.0.1132.57

Combines a minimal design and sophisticated technology

Google Chrome combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. One box for everything - type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites - access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Shortcuts for your apps - get desktop shortcuts to launch your favorite web applications.

Key features

• Sandboxing. Every tab in Chrome is sandboxed, so that a tab can display contents of a web page and accept user input, but it will not be able to read the user's desktop or personal files.
Google say they have "taken the existing process boundary and made it into a jail". There is an exception to this rule; browser plugins such as Adobe Flash Player do not run within the boundaries of the tab jail, and so users will still be vulnerable to cross-browser exploits based on plugins, until plugins have been updated to work with the new Chrome security. Google has also developed a new phishing blacklist, which will be built into Chrome, as well as made available via a separate public API.
• Privacy. Google announces a so-called incognito mode claiming that it "lets you browse the web in complete privacy because it doesn’t record any of your activity". No features of this, and no implications of the default mode with respect to Google's database are given.
• Speed. Speed improvements are a primary design goal.
