He said they “stripped down the UI” and focused on the mantra “content not chrome”, which he acknowledged was ironic given the browser’s name. Goodger talked about the user interface that Chrome has, which he said is a bit different from other browsers. As a sidenote, Goodger mentioned that the latest version of Internet Explorer 8 also now has the separate processing for different tabs feature. He said that the user must always be in control of their browsing experience. Google Chrome extension icon: You MAY be prompted to grant access to the extension. Google wanted Chrome to be the “fastest and least janky browser around.” 200 miliseconds is their baseline for performance in startup speed, page load time, javascript execution. Google also found that this independence of processes resulted in less “jank”, which is Google’s term for unresponsiveness in the browser. Goodger referred to this as a “jail cell for web content”, preventing people from exploiting security issues in the browser. Plugins also have their own processes, so that too provides more stability. So Google created the feature which has perhaps been Chrome’s distinguishing one so far – enabling tab processes to function independently, so if one tab crashes the rest stay operational. This provides high performance, stability and security. One of Chrome’s innovations is to isolate and “pre-emptively multi-task” applications, just like operating systems do. But Google wanted to re-architect the browser and do something more ambitious than current browsers, including Firefox. 1) Search Read&Write for Google Chrome and select the link: 2) It will bring you to the chrome web store, click Add to Chrome 3) A text box will pop up, select Add Extension Accommodation s and Accessibility Services. He said that Google has a history of improving on browsers and creating add-ons – including contributing to Mozilla’s Firefox, where Goodger used to work before Google. Existing browsers were too slow (especially with javascript heavy apps), there are too many crashes, too easy to get pwned (security issues), and UIs were becoming more and more bloated. He said that Google decided to build Chrome simply because “browsers suck”. Ben Goodger, who leads the UI team of Google Chrome, presented today at the Webstock conference about browsers.
