The Latest Versions of Google Chrome

The Latest Versions of Google Chrome 



Google Chrome

                   Google’s game changing browser Chrome combines sophisticated technology with a simple UI, to create a faster, safer and easier browsing experience. Launched in 2008, Google Chrome quickly dominated the browser market to become the most used browser globally within 4 years of its public release. Google’s rapid and continuous development cycle ensures the browser continues to compete with the other most popular and advanced web browsers available.
Speed
Perhaps the area Google invested most of its development time to differentiate from other browsers. Google Chrome launches extremely quickly from your desktop, runs applications at speed thanks to a powerful JavaScript engine and loads pages rapidly using the Web-Kit open source rendering engine. Add to this quicker search and navigation options from the simplified UI and you have a browser that is pretty hard to beat on speed, especially if gaming is your thing.
Clean, simple UI
Google Chrome’s most striking feature and a substantial factor in its popularity - the simple UI hasn’t changed much since the beta launch in 2008. Google focused on trimming down unnecessary toolbar space to maximise browsing real estate. The browser is made up of 3 rows of tools, the top layer horizontally stacks automatically adjusting tabs, next to a simple new tabs icon and the standard minimize, expand & close windows controls. The middle row includes 3 navigation controls (Back, Forward & Stop/Refresh), a URL box which also allows direct Google web searching and a star bookmarking icon. Extensions and browser settings icons line up to the right of the URL box. The third row is made up of bookmark folders and installed apps. Easily overlooked now, this clean UI was a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded tool-bars of popular browsers pre-2008.
Privacy
Another hugely popular feature, Incognito mode allows you to browse privately by disabling history recording, reducing traceable breadcrumbs and removing tracking cookies on shutdown. Chrome’s settings also allow you to customize regular browsing privacy preferences.
Security
Chrome’s Sand-boxing prevents malware automatically installing on your computer or affecting other browser tabs. Chrome also has Safe Browsing technology built in with malware and phishing protection that warns you if you encounter a website suspected of containing malicious software/activity. Regular automatic updates ensure security features are up to date and effective.
Customization
A vast selection of apps, extensions, themes and settings make your browsing experience unique to you. Improve productivity, security, navigation speed, pretty much anything you can think of with apps and extensions from the Google Chrome Store. Install themes created by top artists or make your own using mychrometheme.com. Sign in with your Google Account to back up your contacts, preferences, history as well as access all your Google tools with a single login.

7 steps to speed up Google Chrome

7 steps to speed up Google Chrome


I realized that Google Chrome had begun to get slow and bloated, and since there's no new streamlined browser I can switch to, I decided to see if I could speed things up a bit. Here's what I did!
Many year's ago I switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox because Internet Explorer had become slow and bloated.Then a few years later I dumped Firefox for Google Chrome because,Yes, you guessed it, Firefox had become slow and bloated.
Well, the other day I realized that Google Chrome had begun to get slow and bloated , and since there's no new streamlined browser I can switch to, I decided to see if I could speed things up a bit.
After going through these steps, my installation of Google Chrome felt noticeably faster and snappier. Good luck speeding up your browser.
Note: These tips work for both Mac and Windows (and some even work for Linux!).

#1: UPDATE CHROME

If you've not closed Google Chrome in a while then perhaps there's an update waiting for you "You can tell if there's an update on later releases of Chrome because the burger menu will change from green to yellow and then red to signify how out-of-date the browser you are running is".
7 steps to speed up Google Chrome
To force Chrome to check for an update type chrome://help and follow any prompts.

#2: DISABLE UNWANTED EXTENSIONS

Type chrome://extensions into the address bar and disable any unwanted extensions. Either uncheck the box to disable the extension or click the trash can to delete it.

#3: DISABLE UNWANTED PLUGINS

Type chrome://plugins into the address bar and disable any unwanted plugins. Just click the link to disable.

#4: SMOOTHER SCROLLING

Type chrome://flags into the address bar and find Enable fast tab/windows close. This option speeds up Chrome by allowing it to close windows separate to any JavaScript code that might be running. Then click the RELAUNCH NOW button at the bottom of the screen to apply the setting.
Note that this is an experimental feature and be sure to read the warnings at the top of the settings page in Chrome. To undo any changes click the Reset all to default button.

#5: TAB DISCARDING

Type chrome://flags into the address bar and find Enable tab discarding. This option speeds up Chrome by allowing tabs in the background to be discarded from memory if it's getting low. Then click the RELAUNCH NOW button at the bottom of the screen to apply the setting.
Note that this is an experimental feature and be sure to read the warnings at the top of the settings page in Chrome. To undo any changes click the Reset all to default button.

#6: CLEAR THE CACHE

If you're getting low on disk space then you might find Chrome will speed up if you clear the cache.Type chrome://settings/clear Browser Data into the address bar and I'd suggest choosing only the Cached images and files option.For best results clear items from the beginning of time.

#7: CHECK FOR SPYWARE AND OTHER JUNK

Windows users can make use of Google's Software Removal Tool. It might also be a good idea to scan the system using something such as Malware byte's Anti-Malware.
Mac users can check out Malware byte's Anti-Malware for Mac (don't believe the nonsense that Macs can't have viruses or malware - that may have been true a decade ago, but it's not true today).
