Try Google Chrome beta 4 : here

Browser ranks

According to w3school.com Browser Statistic, the word of the browser is dominated with 2 big players, Firefox being used by 46.6% of the web surfer and Internet Explorer with 39.6%, then come in third place Google Chrome with 7.1%. However, even if it is still far from the head, Google Chrome has gotten more popular every month over the last 11 month. Being powered by Google has helped the 13 month old browser to quickly become more popular then Safari, Mozilla and Opera.

Faster JavaScript = More interactive web

Google Chrome is different from other browsers; it is optimized to execute JavaScript fast, this will make it a very good alternativebrowser for the future. To give you an overview of the difference of performance the browser gives, here is a JavaScript NES emulator ; on Firefox, Tetris works at around  6 FPS and uses 50% of my CPU and it’s too slow to play, while on Internet Explorer it is simply not loading at all. On the other hand, Chrome aces it with 60FPS and uses around 40% of my CPU. So not only is Chrome running JavaScript 10 times faster, it makes JS  also lighter on the processor .

SunSpider benchmark results show Google’s Chrome is the fastest of the top five Windows browsers at rendering JavaScript. (Lower scores/shorter graph bars are better.) www.computerworld.com/

Speed is essential to the future of internet especially when everybody is talking about a more social web with more interactive content. Interactive content means more JavaScript (Ajax) and we previously saw that there was a limit of what the current browser could do without lag and without hammering the processor.

Chrome is fast but is it secure?

Speed is important but so is security, Google Chrome sandbox makes surfing more secure, even thought flaws are found, there is no real threat to the files on the computer because the sand-box isolates the browser from the system . Chrome proved itself more secure than the other browsers by being the only one standing in the Pwn2Own hacker contest.

You don’t care about what security expert says? Here’s a page where you can make crash all the browsers, the only difference is how they react, Chrome is the only one to not completely crash.

Chrome’s bad points

Google Chrome doesn’t have the most user friendly interface and functionality or the customizability of Firefox, neither does it has the tons of excellent plug-ins Firefox has. Many critique complained about the fact that it was only compatible with Windows. But Chrome doesn’t even have 2 years, I’m sure that they will find way to make everything simpler and when it’s going to become more popular, plug-ins will be developed for Chrome. Also I was taking a look at Google Chrome 4 Beta and it looks like there will be a Mac and a Linux version as well.

Why will Chrome be a strong challenger in the browser wars

Having gained 3.2% of popularity over the last 8 month, Chrome has everything it needs to continue to grow. Google optimise each of their own products and services for it, and they have a LOT of products, like Google Search, Gmail, Google Map, Blogger, Google Group, etc.

Since Google’s products are used by millions of people every day Google can easily attract users to their browser.Also with the near release of Google Wave, optimised for Google Chrome, some users might find their browsers slow and heavy on Wave and then change to the only browser on witch it runs perfectly : Chrome.

Google Wave will become very popular  because of its reactivity and real-time execution(lots of AJAX), Wave will make the web evolve of the Web 2.0 to Web 2.5 : where the web looks more like a normal application and this is in what Chrome most excel with.

This year, Google announced they were adding another string to their bow, after Android, they are working on Google Chrome OS. This OS based on Linux kernel, will be focusing on the web surfing and will most likely come for free with Google Chrome installed on it. the good image of Google and its strong partner( Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and others) will make people consider it a good option .

Conclusion

The performance of a browser like Google Chrome is essential for the future use of the internet, that’s why Chrome is going to be a strong competitor in the browser war. Its a very secure browser, light, open fast and has great themes.

The more and more people will use Chrome and without knowing it, Chrome will join the fight between Firefox and Internet explorer and put some action in the browser world.

Browsers are not perfect, when you input the right thing, come crash and it’s ugly.

The top 3 most used web browser according to w3schools.com statistic are FireFox with 46.6%, Internet Explorer 39.6%,  and Google Chrome with 7.1%.

Come see your browser fail and be careful not to have anything important opened because it really works.  You can also send the following links to your friend and when they open it their browser will crash.

Here is a way to make crash all the most used web browser

To crash Internet explorer 8

Internet explorer crash because of simple misplaced html tag,

I was disappointed by the way Firefox reacted : Firefox, IE(no surprise) and Opera did a complete crash and I was forces to shut-them down manually.

While Google Chrome and its sand-boxing feature blocked the stack overflow created by the code in the link to leave the tab. Chrome reacted so well that the tab that has crashed

The way BlogSpot display the titles of blogs is not always the best because it shows the name of your blog first, so when your page shows up in Google, visitors would see for this post “NJR-Team : Optimise the way Blogger or BlogSpot display your title”.

People who search in search engine are looking quickly for their result, so simply having NJR-Team at the beginning that has no link with the subject can make you lose some viewers.

The optimal way to show the title for my blog in Google is : ” Optimise the way Blogger or BlogSpot display your title | NJR-Team“. This way is the best because I’m still having the name of the blog in the title but I’m having the title first so people will click more.

So here is how to change it.

To access the HTML edit code

1. Goto Blogger Dashboard
2. Go to Layout > Edit HTML
3. Backup your Existing Template
4. Search for the Following code in the HTML part

Now replace “<title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title>” with this code:

You can still customise your title by changing this part of the code

Exemples

The mac effect

It is possible for doctors to access modern pacemaker with a short-range radio signal. This system allows them to store the patient information, monitor its vital-sign and upgrade the pacemaker version. The communication between the pacemaker and the control device is also unencrypted; this means that a person with the correct equipment can access all the info and even change the software inside the pacemaker.
In a paper published, Kevin Fu says : “Manufacturers point out that IMDs have used radio communication for decades, and that they are not aware of any unreported security problems. [...]it would be foolish to assume that IMDs are any more immune to malware[..]. Much like Mac users can take comfort in that most malware today takes aim at Windows applications, patients can take comfort in that IMDs seldom rely on such widely targeted software for now.”

The exploit

Kevin Fu and its team have developed a device that can access to a pacemaker and reprogram it. The size of the device is similar to a cell phone and has a range of 10 meter They used it to reprogram a pacemaker installed inside a block of meat to demonstrate the exploit. After the reprogramming, the pacemaker could not go back in sleep mode and drained its batteries in days instead of years.

Hopefully, there never was any known attack of this type and with the demonstration of the attack, Fu and his team also proposed solution to make implants more secure. By doing so they might have contributed to save lots of life. If you have a peacemaker, don’t freak out. The chances that you find yourself at 10 meter of someone that has the knowledge to do such equipment, an intense knowledge of pacemaker and the will to kill for no reason, is very low. I’m sure there is more chances that you meet someone that has the will to kill people for no reason but with a gun.
