Google releases open code for Chrome

Google always keeps on invading new territories in the Internet and its latest target is your computer's operating system. Turning up in third-party vendors netbooks, it has officially released the open source code for its Chrome OS, an operating system. By next year those devices would start selling.

Like Windows, Mac OS, or even most Linux distributions, Google takes a very different approach with Chrome than major OSes. It is essentially a browser in the Internet that does not run on an operating system. All the data you save using it is stored in the cloud and its apps are Web apps. Very little data is actually saved on the computer's hard drive.

As an Internet user, one of its most useful benefits, as Google describes it is that boot-up times are extremely quick. Its security does not have any hassle and is easier to handle. Through this browser, you are not going to host any malware. If somebody pinches off your Chrome net book from Internet and your password is nice and safe, then you'll be able to reclaim all your data and settings. The regaining can be simple by signing on to another Chrome netbook -- which you'll have to buy, of course, but some data's worth more than a few hundred bucks.

Local desktop shortcuts are allowed by Chrome that opens web applications in the browser. Containing none of the regular interface the browser, when opened, only shows the title bar, so as not to "interrupt anything the user is trying to do." By this application the web applications is allowed to run alongside local software which is similar to Mozilla Prism and Fluid. No status bar is there in Chrome, but it displays loading activity on the Internet. Get going with Google Chrome and enjoy all the benefits as an user.
