Sure, some of you have heard of Google's new browser, Chrome, however, how much do even those who use it know about it?

For example, did you know that Google Chrome is new technology, not like the standard browsers that got their start in the 80s and are too used to working with <HTML> tags instead of Javascript and Flash?

Or perhaps that Google Chrome has a feature called "Sandbox" which makes it so websites you don't visit, like the ones that are linked to other pages, can't READ much less write to anything higher than the browser?

Did you know about Incognito Mode, where you can initiate a browser window where all history and cookies aren't saved?

Did you know that it is based on Apple Webkit, which in turn is based off of a Linux app (Konqueror) technology called KHTML?

How much do you know about Google Chrome?

That doesn't even mean anything.

Yes to all the other questions.

It kind of does. It means that Chrome was developed for an application-based internet from the start instead of being developed for a text-based internet like IE did.

Some sites scan what you are typing/reading about, and put up ads on the same subject, surely in all your nerdiness you knew this?

Ya, I know.

I just think an advertisement for Google Chrome in Google Chrome is weird.

I also know that they can detect browsers.
