David — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:52:49 +0000

TechCrunch have reported that the Google developers have began to polish up their new OS to get it looking nice and shiny! They have said that in particular it’s looking much more cut down and cleaner. They also have a number of brand new features including a new options panel, a new side bar option for browser tabs, new log in screens, notification pop ups and a new content browser.

Google to Release Business Chrome OS in 2011

David — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:27:55 +0000

Network World report that Google is to release two seperate versions of Chrome OS – a consumer version which is to be released later this year, and a business version to be released in 2011. See below for a quote:

“Google’s Chrome OS Netbook will feature a host of built-in security technologies designed to protect users from malware and other threats, a Google engineer said at the RSA Conference Thursday.

Will Drewry, a Google software security engineer, said the fact that the company’s Chrome OS is an open source project allows for constant feedback from developers regarding security design. This, he said, should reassure those acquiring a Google Netbook about the product’s security.

Google plans to release a consumer version later this year and a business version featuring more management muscle in 2011, Drewry said……”

New Google Chrome Release for Windows

David — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:59:09 +0000

Google have announced the official release of a new stable version of Google Chrome for Windows which gives users the ability to add extensions (like add-ons for Firefox) and a new bookmark sync feature. See below for a quote from the Official Google Blog:

“Today we’re excited to introduce a new stable release of Google Chrome for Windows, which includes two of the browser’s most frequently requested features: extensions and bookmark sync.

Extensions let you add new features and functions to your browser. Some provide one-click access to some of your favorite web applications like eBay and digg, or news and information sources such as NPR and Time.com. Others are useful tweaks for performing common online tasks such as browsing photos, getting directions or shopping.

We previously launched extensions on the beta channel, and many new extensions have since been contributed by developers from all over the world. Now you can browse over 1,500 in our extensions gallery and install them on the stable version of Google Chrome….”

Does this mean more people will start to move over from Firefox now extensions are available?? Tweet @tugsearch your thoughts! Download your new version of Google Chrome for Windows here.

Youtube tries out flashless videos with HTML5

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:07:31 +0000

Thanks to the new HTML5 Standards you can play videos directly through html with no plugins required. Naturally Youtube has taken advantage of this and has been running a few beta tests on the idea with full html video pages.

You can now sign up to a beta testing area which will run all your videos without the need for a flash plugin which should lead to a much better user experience, less crashes and hopefully all run a little faster.

This is currently only open to Chrome and Safari users but we can’t imagine firefox will be far off. The only limitations are it won’t play full screen and if they have ads, or aren’t available in h.264, you will get the usual Flash player.

Add yourself into the beta here http://youtube.com/html5

Google Getting Ready for Chrome Extensions

David — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:14:12 +0000

Today Google announced that it was turning on Extensions by default on all new developer builds (for Windows only), extensions are used by developers to add plugins to browsers; these are used my many users on Firefox. Will this be enough to move people away from Firefox?? See below for a quote from the Chrome Blog:

“Good news for extension developers: as of today, extensions are turned on by default on Google Chrome’s dev channel.

Extensions are small pieces of software that developers can write to customize the way Google Chrome works. We’ve been working on enabling extensions for a while, but until now, they were hidden behind a developer flag. As of today, this is no longer true. If you’re on the dev channel, you can try installing some of our sample extensions.

Removing the flag is the first step in our launch process, and it means we’re ready for a few more people to start using extensions– the kind of adventurous people who populate the dev channel. For this release, we focused on getting most of the basic infrastructure and security pieces in place, in particular our new permission system. However, you should still be cautious and only install extensions from developers you trust…..”
