It seems that Google is going to do it again with the new beta release of their new OS browser. The first release will only be for windows, as they say that are hard a work on a version for mac & Linux that will launch soon also. What Google has done here is set back and realized that the browsers that we use today are completely out of date. With all of the new web that are being released everyday we need to be able to seamlessly integrate those applications into our daily browsing.

Here is a quote from Google developers:

All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends — all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that’s what we set out to build.

On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff — the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.

A few features that the Google browser will launch with are an address bar with auto-completion features Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular and more. Omnibox also lets you enter e.g. “digital camera” if the title of the page you visited was “Canon Digital Camera”. Additionally, the omnibox lets you search a website of which it captured the search box; you need to type the site’s name into the address bar, like “amazon”, and then hit the tab key and enter your search keywords.

Google browser will also come with sort of a speed dial effect homepage, kind of like Opera offers in their browser. On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs.

I am defiantly excited for the launch of this browser as it will be pushing the fold of technology for internet browsers and the way we associate our lives within the internet.

To everyone that has an adsense already approved the new Google Ad Manager is now open. The new google ad manager is very much like openX ad server. I honestly thought that google would eventually purchase openX but I guess that they thought of this as a better method.

If you go to the Google Ad Manager page it will show you a bit of a sneak peak of what exaclty the ad server is like. If you don’t use google adsense here is another reason to get an account.

I will be bring more info to you about the new ad manager within a few days.
