Dating Site Blog & SEO

It appears Google is on the verge of releasing it’s new browser, which has been in development for around 2 years.  This will be open source and includes many new features and innovations which are sure to please.  The most important thing about this new browser, called Chrome, is that it is the first new browser in many years which is written mostly from scratch.  Tomorrow or this evening I shall use this blog to link to the Chrome download page as soon as it becomes available, so post a comment here and I will notify you via email when it is available and send you the link.

A few of the highlights:
The Chrome process manager decouples each tab from the other tabs and houses the data in an encapsulated environment.  This should prevent one site causing the browser to ‘freeze’  in the event that the site hits some issues.  In addition, phising and malware are tackled by the way that Google identifies suspect sites, but also by the way that permissions are handled.  Another neat feature is the way that search boxes on some sites will automatically be accessible to the user even when not viewing that page.  Could be a handy feature. for when you wish to search for something without having to load the page beforehand. Of course this capability does exist as an Add-on on some browsers anyway, but still nice to have in included by default.

Webkit and V8 form the internals on Chrome.  Webkit is a simple to follow API and should prove a nice tool for the web developer to play with, if she/he so wishes. Another great innovation is the change from ‘interpreting’ Javascript, to the generation of machine code.  This could speed things up a lot in the long run. Actually, there are so many great features that I am rambling on a bit.  Visit Google Chrome Overview for a rundown of what the new browser offers.
Don’t forget to bookmark this page and come back later to get the download link, else leave a comment and I will email it to you.

UPDATE: the link to the Google Chrome Browser download is here.

Happy browsing,
Will
