Google Chrome : Open Source Web Browser

Google Chrome has been built in a time when browsers no longer render mostly web pages, but full-blown web applications. That's why browsers need to be more powerful, more stable and more secure. One of the problems of the existing browsers is that a web page can lock the browser and there's no way to isolate that tab and close it. Google Chrome uses a new process for each tab. "We're applying the same isolation you find in modern operating systems," says Arnaud Weber. Each process is sandboxed to prevent malware from affecting your computer.



The new browser has a JavaScript virtual machine built by the V8 team from Denmark that generates code dynamically and has a better garbage collector.
Google Chrome's UI is inspired by Opera: tabs are displayed above the address bar, the address bar combines previously typed URLs with search results and suggestions and there's a homepage that includes frequently visited sites, recently closed tabs, bookmarks and searches.

Disabling error reporting in Windows

Whenever a program crashes, whether it’s a Microsoft application, a component of Windows, or a third-party application, a window appears, prompting you to send a "report" to Microsoft. This really is one of the most annoying features of windows OS.

But you can easily disable this error-reporting (either completely or selectively) using the following steps: 

1) Open System in the Control Panel (or right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties).

2) Choose the Advanced tab.

3) Click on Error Reporting. You will get the following dialog box :

4) Now to remove this feature completely, select Disable error reporting. And to use it selectively on certain programs only, click on Choose Programs... and add the required programs to the list.
