- New Incognito mode is a Google Chrome browsing mode where your subsequent web searches are recorded in your Google Web History.If you want to make sure your searches are not stored in your Google Account, you'll need to pause your Google Web History tracking. Browsing in incognito mode only keeps Google Chrome from storing information about the websites you've visited.
- Encoding fecility, text zoom are also available in this browser.
- View source, debug java script, java script console are available with chrome at developer option.
Cons:
- Google Chrome provides sandboxing functionalities. Apparently each process is sandboxed. So taking over a process may not result into an immediate pwnage but it will certainly give the attackers some advantage.
- Missing status bar. Although chrome claims to be of high speed, there are slow sites where status bar helps you know that something is being done by the browser.
- Missing the search bar. The address bar does both the things for you. Although it is a new approach and could be very helpful once you become used to it but could be annoying sometimes.
- Missing feature to deal with RSS feeds, which is very popular nowadays.
- Although its looks and innovative idea of handling each tab as a separate process are very exciting but it lacks the third-party add-ons right now, which are all build up for Firefox and IE.
Because it is new release the add-ons are not available. May be Google provide the add-ons later. at presently not available.
