Google Chrome offers new features like the ability to search from the address bar, and receive suggestions for both search and web pages. Also, users can open an incognito window when they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to save their browsing history.<\/p>\n<p>Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google, and based on the WebKit layout engine.  Google Chrome was first released on September 2, 2008 as a beta version, and by December 2008 it had a share of 1.04% of the browser market.  The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or &#8220;chrome&#8221;, of web browsers. The official public stable release was on December 11, 2008.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">Portable PC&#8217;s more likely to have  Google Chrome installed.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;Portables Hold Edge Over Desktops.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;Google Chrome is still a fairly new browser, and currently Desktop users have not made the switch, but we will see if this changes later in 2009.&lt;\/font&gt;');\" onmouseout=\"return hideTip();\" src=\"\/graph_lib\/research\/CHROMEARPCtype.php\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color:white;text-align:center;font-style:italic;\">Business Use Of Google Chrome already more than Home.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onmouseover=\"return tooltip('&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;Surprisingly more Business users have installed Google Chrome as an alternative browser.&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;Although Google Chrome wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t officially released publically into December of 2008&lt;br \/&gt; Many business users must have taken advantage of the beta version.
