This enforces a computer security model whereby there are two levels of multilevel security (user and sandbox) and the sandbox can only respond to communication requests initiated by the user. Using the principle of least privilege, each tab process cannot interact with critical memory functions (e.g. OS memory, user files) or other tab processes – similar to Microsoft’s “Protected Mode” used by Internet Explorer 9 or greater. Chrome formerly supported a Data Saver feature for making pages load faster called Lite Mode. Chrome formerly used their now-deprecated SPDY protocol instead of only HTTP when communicating with servers that support it, such as Google services, Facebook, Twitter.

macOS

At Pwn2Own 2012, Chrome was defeated by a French team who used zero day exploits in the version of Flash shipped with Chrome to take complete control of a fully patched 64-bit Windows 7 PC using a booby-trapped website that overcame Chrome’s sandboxing. As of version 45, the Google Chrome password manager is no longer integrated with Keychain, since the interoperability goal is no longer possible. Google Chrome/Chromium chooses which store to use automatically, based on the desktop environment in use. Chrome developers have indicated that a master password does not provide real security against determined hackers and have refused to implement one. Since 2008, Chrome has been faulted for not including a master password to prevent casual access to a user’s passwords.

As of 2013update a separate beta version of Chrome is available in the Google Play Store – it can run side by side with the stable release. On July 22, 2010, Google announced aafx trading it would ramp up the speed at which it releases new stable versions; the release cycles were shortened from quarterly to six weeks for major Stable updates. The browser was first publicly released, officially as a beta version, on September 2, 2008, for Windows XP and newer, and with support for 43 languages, and later as a “stable” public release on December 11, 2008.

• In October 2013, Windows 8 mode on the developer channel changed to use a desktop environment mimicking the interface of ChromeOS with a dedicated windowing system and taskbar for web apps.
• Two weeks after Chrome’s launch in 2008, the WebKit team announced a new JavaScript engine, SquirrelFish Extreme, citing a 36% speed improvement over Chrome’s V8 engine.
• On September 9, 2009, Google enabled extensions by default on Chrome’s developer channel and provided several sample extensions for testing.
• Concurrently, all Developer channel users were moved to the Beta channel along with the promoted Developer release.
• Company co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page hired several Mozilla Firefox developers and built a demonstration of Chrome.

Beta channel releases now come roughly at the same rate as Stable releases, though approximately one month in advance, while Dev channel releases appear roughly once or twice weekly, allowing time for basic release-critical testing. Google explained that now the Developer channel builds would be less stable and polished than those from the initial Google Chrome Beta period. Chrome includes a process management utility called Task Manager which lets users see what sites and plugins are using the most memory, downloading the most bytes and overusing the CPU and provides the ability to terminate them. In February 2012, Google announced that Chrome would implement the Do Not Track (DNT) standard to inform websites of the user’s desire not to be tracked. The iOS version of Chrome also supports the optional ability to lock incognito tabs with Face ID, Touch ID, or the device’s passcode. Consumer Reports recommended users install dedicated ad-blocking tools instead, which offer increased security against malware and tracking.

Chromium

WebKit was the original rendering engine, but Google eventually forked it to create the Blink engine; all Chrome variants except iOS used Blink as of 2017.

Chrome uses cutting-edge safety and security features to help you manage your safety. When you set Chrome as your default browser, any link you click will automatically open in Chrome.

• Chrome was one of the twelve browsers offered on BrowserChoice.eu to European Economic Area users of Microsoft Windows in 2010.
• 64-bit Windows builds became available in the developer channel and as canary builds on June 3, 2014, in the beta channel on July 30, 2014, and in the stable channel on August 26, 2014.
• A beta version for Android 4.0 devices was launched on February 7, 2012, available for a limited number of countries from Google Play.
• In March 2021, Google announced that starting with Chrome 94 in the third quarter of 2021, Google Chrome Stable releases will be made every four weeks, instead of six weeks as they have been since 2010.

The Chrome Web Store was opened on February 11, 2011, with the release of Google Chrome 9.0. This meant offline access, desktop shortcuts, and less dependence on Chrome—apps launch in a window separate from Chrome, and look more like native applications. The browser, when opened in this way, contains none of the regular interface except for the title bar, so as not to “interrupt anything the user is trying to do”. The desktop edition of Chrome can save pages as HTML with assets in a “_files” subfolder, or as an unprocessed HTML-only document.

This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because macOS 10.6–10.12 are no longer supported. This device won’t receive updates because Google Chrome no longer supports your operating system. Google has an official developer’s guide on how to create, develop, and publish projects. It is possible to develop applications, extensions, and themes for Chrome.

User tracking concerns

A home button is not shown by default, but can be added through the Settings page to take the user to the new tab page or a custom home page. By default, the main user interface includes back, forward, refresh/cancel, and menu buttons. Google Chrome features a minimalistic user interface, with its user-interface principles later being implemented in other browsers. In May 2017, Google announced a version of Chrome for augmented reality and virtual reality devices. Despite this, on November 6, 2012, Google released a version of Chrome on Windows which added hardware-accelerated H.264 video decoding. Chrome was one of the twelve browsers offered on BrowserChoice.eu to European Economic Area users of Microsoft Windows in 2010.

This was removed on version 49 and users that have upgraded to Windows 10 will lose this feature. In October 2013, Windows 8 mode on the developer channel changed to use a desktop environment mimicking the interface of ChromeOS with a dedicated windowing system and taskbar for web apps. As of Chrome version 26, Linux installations of the browser may be updated only on systems that support GCC v4.6 and GTK v2.24 or later. Features missing in the mobile version include sandboxed tabs, Safe Browsing, apps or extensions, Adobe Flash (now and in the future), Native Client, and the ability to export user data such a list of their opened tabs or their browsing history into portable local files. Starting with the release of version 89, Chrome will only be supported on Intel/Intel x86 and AMD processors with the SSE3 instruction set.

Chromium and Chrome release schedules are linked through Chromium (Major) version Branch Point dates, published annually. In March 2021, Google announced that starting with Chrome 94 in the third quarter of 2021, Google Chrome Stable releases will be made every four weeks, instead of six weeks as they have been since 2010. On macOS, it uses Google Update Service, and auto-update can be controlled via the macOS “defaults” system. All Chrome channels are automatically distributed according to their respective release cycles.

In October 2013, Cisco announced that it was open-sourcing its H.264 codecs, and it would cover all fees required. Chrome is internally tested with unit testing, automated testing of scripted user actions, fuzz testing, as well as WebKit’s layout tests (99% of which Chrome is claimed to have passed), and against commonly accessed websites inside the Google index within 20–30 minutes. In 2013, they forked the WebCore component to create their own layout engine, Blink. Chrome was assembled from 25 different code libraries from Google and third parties such as Mozilla’s Netscape Portable Runtime, Network Security Services, NPAPI (dropped as of version 45), Skia Graphics Engine, SQLite, and several other open-source projects.

Tabs are the main component of Chrome’s user interface and have been moved to the top of the window rather than below the controls. On the HTML5 web standards test, Chrome 41 scored 518 out of 555 points, placing it ahead of the five most popular desktop browsers. In 2011, on the official CSS 2.1 test suite by the standardization organization W3C, WebKit, the Chrome rendering engine, passed 89.75% (89.38% out of 99.59% covered) CSS 2.1 tests. Beginning with version 4.0, Chrome passed all aspects of the Acid3 test, However, as of April 2017 Chrome no longer passes Acid3 due to changing consensus on Web standards. The first release of Google Chrome passed both the Acid1 and Acid2 tests. On many new devices with Android 4.1 or later preinstalled, Chrome is the default browser.

On Windows, it uses Google Update, and auto-update can be controlled via Group Policy. It does not natively include the option to be the default browser, although on Windows and macOS it can be set through System Preferences. Canary is “the most bleeding-edge official version of Chrome and somewhat of a mix between Chrome dev and the Chromium snapshot builds”. The name refers to the practice of using canaries in coal mines, so if a change “kills” Chrome Canary, it will be blocked from migrating down to the Developer channel, at least until fixed in a subsequent Canary build. The first production release on December 11, 2008, marked the end of the initial Beta test period and the beginning of production. A multi-process architecture is implemented in Chrome where, by default, a separate process is allocated to each site instance and plugin.

Features

As of December 2025,update according to StatCounter, Google Chrome had 75% worldwide desktop usage share, making it the most widely used web browser. In December 2022, Google announced the transition would be paused “to address developer feedback and deliver better solutions to migration issues”. The FLoC proposal also drew criticism from DuckDuckGo, Brave, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation for underestimating the ability of the API to track users online. In 2023, Google proposed a technology that claims to “hide the IP and traffic of its users” by routing Chrome traffic to Google servers. Chrome sends details about its users and their activities to Google through both optional and non-optional user tracking mechanisms.

The JavaScript virtual machine used by Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, has features such as dynamic code generation, hidden class transitions, and precise garbage collection. In December, the Google Chrome Extensions Gallery beta began with approximately 300 extensions. Starting with Google Chrome 3.0, users can install themes to alter the appearance of the browser.
