Google Chrome

Not long ago the Google team had launched its web browser. At first I thought there was no point in downloading the free application but after trying this application, I must say I am most impressed. Unlike other browsers, Chrome has a secondary in-built browser that is designated for safe surfing especially if you were using a public computer, i.e. Internet Cafe owners might favor this application as the secondary in built browser referred to as Incognito.

It ensures that the websites and pages visited within its window will not appear within the browser's history neither will it store any search history. But it does not end there, one will not leave any traces such as cookies whilst using. Though files downloaded/bookmarks will be stored as per user's browsing experience, entirely one's choice. One has to be cautious though, when Incognito is loaded, it doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Of course the information is further explained once Incognito has been loaded! Whilst using the primary browser, one might find at times when you attempt to load some known malicious sites, a warning will pop up asking for the user's intervention, same as the Opera Web Browser. If you see fit and would like to proceed, then forfeit the warning and proceed to the site.

There are also sites that tend to detect if you using the Internet Explorer for the web experience and warn you if you are not using it. Seeing most of these browsers are built around the IE rendering system, it’s safe to proceed using the browser of your choice unless instructed otherwise (this usually happens mostly on the Microsoft site or their partners).

Why don't you give it ago, Chrome/Incognito can be downloaded from the following address:

Google Chrome - Download a new browser - should you wish to load Incognito, follow these steps:

1. Click the Page menu (at the end of the Chrome's address bar, following the go button represented as a multimedia play button, there is a feature represented as page, click on the drop down menu).

2. Select New incognito window. A new window now opens with the incognito icon in the top left corner. You can continue browsing as normal in the other window.

For a BETA version, I must say I’m pretty impressed! Have a go at it and share your experience.
