Using what Google call the V8 JavaScript engine, Chrome is pretty zippy and is one of the fastest browsers currently available. The most potent example of this is the ability to set up shortcuts for web apps on your PC's desktop so you can quickly launch Gmail, Google docs etc. Given its Google parentage, it isn't terribly surprising that Chrome is also web app savvy. Whilst Chrome has forsaken the home button, it can display thumbnails of favourite websites, giving you a quick and visual means to access your favourite pages from any new tab.Įqually nifty is the ability to drag browser tabs onto your PCs desktop where they'll become separate browser windows. The first hint of anything security related is a security pull-down menu between Page and Tools on IE8's toolbar.
Aside from being better able to handle crashes, IE8 also has colour-coded browser tabs, giving tab happy surfers a visual means of keep track of tabs.īut the big question on the minds of many is security. Each browser window or tab is now handled by separate Windows processes, so if one tab kicks the digital bucket, it can be killed off without taking the browser down.
Taking a nod from rival Google's Chrome, Microsoft have also improved the way IE handles crashes. Whilst only 'Search with Live Search' is included by default, expect this to be extended as developers add their own activities (e.g.
#Is internet explorer or chrome more intense on cpu code
Although Microsoft has used proprietary code for slices, they've seen the light and have made it available via a creative commons license so hopefully other browsers will eventually support it in the future.Īnother nifty feature is 'Activities' which adds actions to right click menus.
