Why Chrome?
Users to like the Google chrome because of its superior features find out some examples are as under.
1. Task Manager for Websites
Press Shift Escape and it will open up a ‘task manager’ with a listing of all websites currently open inside Chrome.
This will give you a proposal about how much memory is consumed by different websites and if any particular page is causing your system to crawl, you can do an “end process” to close that tab directly from Task Manager.
2. Visual Browser History
This is a feature Chrome borrowed from Google Desktop / Google Web History. Type Ctrl H to open your browser history and search for a term.
In addition to matching pages, Google Chrome will also show you a small thumbnail image of that web page in the history results. No need for any extensions.
3. See Memory Used by Different Browsers
Open a new tab inside Chrome browser and type “about: memory” (without quotes) - somewhere at the top, you’ll see a list of browser processes that are currently running on your system and the amount of memory they are using.
4. Reopen Website tabs that you closed by mistake
Firefox 3 has this “Undo Closed Tab” option in the menu while you can open closed tabs in Opera via the Ctrl Z shortcut.
To re-open a closed tab in Google Chrome, just hit Ctrl T and you’ll see an option that says “Recently closed tabs” - click the one you closed by accident.
5. Launch Websites from the Start Menu / Quick Launch Bar
Desktop shortcuts for web pages are possible with other browsers as well but Google Chrome makes the whole flow very easy. Open any site and choose “Create application shortcut” from the File menu.
