Enterprise Applications: Taking the Official Google Chrome Tour


Google's Chrome Web browser has been out since Sept. 2, 2008, and the application has garnered accolades for speed and weathered criticism for taking a long time to appear in Mac and Linux versions. The browser, which has undergone quite the evolution since its launch, already has more than 3 percent market share. To endear it to new users, Google began offering a tour of the browser's features Oct. 14. Rather than making you point and click all over the Website, eWEEK takes you through the ins and outs of Chrome.
 
  • Taking the Official Google Chrome Tour
    by Clint Boulton
  • Chrome Tour Intro
    This guide walks you through the main features of Google Chrome. Clicking on a region gets you an explanation for each feature.
  • Browse the Web Using Tabs
    When you visit a site, it opens as a tab in Google Chrome.
  • Opening New Tabs
    Click the New Tab button to open a new tab. It starts out as a blank page, but gets enriched with more Web surfing.
  • Revisiting Web Pages
    Use these arrows to go to Web pages you've just visited in the tab. Click an arrow and hold it down to see a history of your browsing session in the tab. Very efficient.
  • How to Refresh
    Easy, just click this button to reload your Web page.
  • Chrome Home
    This button lets you get to your home page in one click.
  • Bookmark Those Pages
    We all know how important bookmarks are to help us find Web pages we want to return to. Chrome's bookmark button is right next to the search box.
  • Search Bar and Address Bar Are the Same
    Search the Web, and enjoy suggestions with this Swiss-army navigation box.
  • Page Menu
    This tool bar lets users cut, copy, paste and more in Chrome.
  • Digging into the Tool Box
    A tool menu helps you manage Web pages in Chrome. Open a new tab or window, import bookmarks and, importantly, open a new window in incognito mode, so that pages you visit won't be stored in your browsing history.
  • Bookmarks Bar
    This gives you easy access to the pages you've saved and lets you drag and drop bookmarks into folders or onto the bar directly.
  • Customize Chrome
    Now that you've learned the features, it's time to set up Chrome to your liking. This page tells you how.
  • Test Drive
    Here are a few mini-tasks you can do to test Google Chrome.
