Their new browser matches the lean design asthetic from google.com. The interface is so minimalist, there isn’t even a home button. But while Chrome has surprisingly few obvious options on the screen it has a lot of power below the surface. I won’t go into the technical details of how Google took a new approach with Chrome, there’s a very informative guide to that available in the form of a comic book. Here are a few initial observations of the browser:

  • Feels Fast
  • Has a fresh and modern interface design that maximizes usable screen real estate
  • Brings Browser to 2008 instead of 1998.
  • Incognito mode allows you to surf anonymously
  • Font site can be adjusted, but it doesn’t support Opera’s screen magnification feature

It’s a free download, so try it out.
