Google Chrome - an open source browser

Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google. Its software architecture was engineered from scratch (using components from other open source software including WebKit and Mozilla Firefox) to cater for the changing needs of users and acknowledging that today most web sites aren't web pages but web applications. Design goals include stability, speed, security and a clean, simple and efficient user interface
Features include:


Tabbed browsing where each tab gets its own process, leading to faster and more stable browsing. If one tab crashes, the whole browser doesn’t go down with it

A distinct user interface that places tabs on top of the browser window instead of right below the address bar

An “incognito” mode that lets you browse the web in complete privacy because it doesn’t record any of your activity

A new JavaScript engine built from the ground up for speed

Malware and phishing lists that automatically update themselves and warn you of bad websites

A default homepage that displays your most commonly used sites and other personalized information
