Google Chrome

Recently, Google Chrome steal all the headlines from the media, making the internet browser challenge hike, you can actually see all the related article everywhere. Review, tips & tricks and vulnerabilities of google chrome have been strongly discuss.

Now, I will sum up everything about Google chrome here. And let you guys to have the final say whether google chrome is good or bad. I will not discuss details here as alot of people's have already done that, hence, I'll provides short point and links, you may refer to the link if you would like to find out more.

Here we go.

Features:


  • Support multiple processes, instead of single or multi-thread, each tab has it own memory and global data structures.

    • processes rendering in seperate tab





Tips:

Vulnerabilities (Version 0.2.149.27):

  • Buffer overflow

    • Description: Problem caused due to a boundary error when handling the "SaveAs" Function. On saving a malicious page with an overly long title ( tag in HTML), the program causes a stack-based overflow and makes it possible for attackers to execute arbitrary code."

    • To know more, visit http://www.itwire.com/




Problem fixed:

  • URLs containing ":%" which could cause Chrome to crash.


Pros:

  • Opensource

  • Better stability by running multi process architecture. 1 tab goes down will not affect the whole browser

  • Better memory allocation as each tab has it own memory. Any tab goes memory fat, we can just eliminate it

  • Built in Java virtual machine

  • Built-in DOM inspector

  • Compiled javascript

  • Incognito mode

  • Excellent introduction and explanation you can find from a comic book added by google.


Cons:

  • It's still in beta test, you can expect alot of bugs and vulnerabities

  • no supporting plugin like firefox at the moment

  • Chrome offers only day-by-day history.

  • no linux support, YET!


Overall, I think Google chrome is a decent browser with high performance and stability. It's worth the try. So, what's your say about Google chrome?

5) ID ten T error
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Richard , the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, to come over. Richard clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?"

"It was an ID ten T error," he replied.

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, "An, ID ten T error? What's that ... uh ... in case I need to fix it again?"

Richard grinned ... "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?"

"No," I replied.

"Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T .....

I used to like Richard.
