Google, on June 4th, announced the availability of its browser Chrome for Linux as well. The version 3.0.183.1 is still very unstable and lacks a lot of features that are otherwise present in the Windows package.
One of Chrome's main advantages over other web browsers is the way it handles tabs as separate processes. Why is this important? Well, if a web page crashes, it doesn't take the whole browser with it, but only the tab it was opened in, significantly increasing overall stability.
Also, Google Chrome makes browsing more efficient and ergonomic by placing modules on each new tab that you open. Instead of having a blank page, you will now have six thumbnails displaying the most visited webpages, a history search bar and even the last three closed tabs. Do not worry though, as this customized page will open just as fast as an empty one.
Another exciting feature of Google's browser is the Incognito mode. Available through the settings menu or by using the CTRL+Shift+N shortcut, this private browsing method will make sure no traces of your Internet activity (history, cookies, etc.) are left on the computer.
