			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been some buzz about the new browser released by Google, Chrome.  We&#8217;ve seen a lot in the browser community in regards to updates and actions to make the experience bigger, better and faster from the 2 majors companies, Microsoft and Mozilla.  This is even true with the introduction of Apple&#8217;s Safari to the PC.  I hope that this insurgency of the &#8216;newer&#8217; and better browsers does not stop considering there are quite a few changes that still need to be made to improve the overall performance usability of the internet.  So, Chrome seems to be a step in that direction.</p>
<p>Being previously unaware that they were even working on the browser in the first place, this came as a shock to me and at initial glance at this software, I was attested to it.  I found that it literally made me feel like a child playing with internet Play-Doh.  As I dug deeper into it, general browsing of sites and hitting links from friends over chat, I found myself doing a lot less work to view what I wanted to view.  I also found tab dragging very friendly, fast which made me want to see what was happening to my system while I did this.  Come to find out, I noticed quite a few chrome.exe processes running which made me laugh and almost uninstall the software.  I say this, based on that as browsers stand now, you make a new window, you get a new process and tabs are loaded within that.  But in looking further in how you can pretty close to almost dynamically create new windows from them, rearrange things like a Lego fortress.  Furthermore, Shift-Esc allows to show what each of these is doing memory and CPU wise.  From a geek perspective, I am happy to see this.</p>
<p>So, this brings me to the usage of about.  You&#8217;ve got everything from funny to useful for the about section of the browser.  I am not here to really describe these, so enjoy them for yourself:</p>
<p>about:memory<br />
about:stats<br />
about:network<br />
about:internets<br />
about:histograms<br />
about:dns<br />
about:cache<br />
about:plugins<br />
about:version<br />
about:objects<br />
about:chrome-nativeui<br />
view-cache:{URL}<br />
view-source:{URL}</p>
<p>All in all, I&#8217;m glad they&#8217;ve released this.  I hope it helps in pushing the internet browsing idea to another level.  I guess time will tell, but so far, so good!</p>
