Google Chrome is an open source, fast and easy to use web browser, that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web safer. It’s the most used web browser with over 50% market share across all platforms combined.Use one box for everything – type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Use thumbnails of your top sites to access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop.

Google’s browser was first released in 2008, for Microsoft Windows, and was later ported to Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. Chrome is also the main component of Chrome OS, which serves as a platform for running web apps. Chrome’s software architecture was engineered from scratch to cater for the changing needs of users and acknowledging that today most websites aren’t web pages but web applications.

Google Chrome offers a private browsing feature called Incognito mode prevents the browser from permanently storing any history information or cookies from the websites visited. Incognito mode is similar to the private browsing feature in other web browsers.
