So as most of you probably know the big buzz on the Internet last week was that Google (after supporting Firefox for so long) have actually launched their own browser.<\/p>\n
It’s cooled Google Chrome<\/a>. Now of course in typical Google fashion they call it BETA software, and a number of flaws have popped up during the first couple of days of release.<\/p>\n One cool thing though is that each tab runs it’s own threaded process, so if one tab bombs out it won’t take down your whole browser.<\/p>\n The browser is a move for Google into the online\/offline integration they started with Google Desktop<\/a>, there are more and more online apps (Google Office) that people still want to use offline with a Google made browser this will be possible.<\/p>\n You also have to consider the privacy implications though, if you are also using Gmail…Google will basically know everything you do, even worse if you also use Google Desktop they will know what you have on your computer, what e-mail you send and receive and what you surf on the web.<\/p>\n The German Government has come out and told its citzens NOT to use Google Chrome<\/a>.<\/p>\n There have been a few flaws released since Chrome came out such as a carpet bombing flaw<\/a>:<\/p>\n Google\u2019s shiny new Web browser is vulnerable to a carpet-bombing vulnerability that could expose Windows users to malicious hacker attacks.<\/p>\n Just hours after the release of Google Chrome, researcher Aviv Raff discovered that he could combine two vulnerabilities \u2014 a flaw in Apple Safari (WebKit) and a Java bug discussed at this year\u2019s Black Hat conference \u2014 to trick users into launching executables direct from the new browser.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
