About the Book

MAKE THE MOST OF THE WORLD’S HOTTEST NEW BROWSER, GOOGLE CHROME! Finally, there’s a web browser for today’s Internet, and today’s user: you! It’s Chrome. (From Google—of course!) Now, there’s a book that reveals how you can use all of Google Chrome’s built-in power and speed—and extend Chrome to do even more! Jerri Ledford and Yvette Davis start with a quick, practical tour of Google Chrome’s stripped-down, hot-rod interface —including its do-everything, know-everything Omnibox. You’ll be using Chrome like a pro in minutes, but that’s just the beginning. You won’t just learn how to customize Chrome: You’ll dive under the hood, tweak its code, and transform it into the browser of your dreams. Bottom line: If Google Chrome can do it, this book will help you do it smarter, faster, better! Covers all this, and more...   • Improving life on the Web: what’s new and different about Chrome, and why you care • Getting from Chrome newbie to power user—fast! • Browsing more safely in the Web jungle • Spit-shining Chrome: making a good-looking browser look spectacular • Optimizing your own web site to make the most of Google Chrome • Tweaking tabs, and more: customizing Chrome to your heart’s content • Saving time with Google Chrome keyboard shortcuts • Troubleshooting problems with Google Chrome, step-by-step • Learning about Chromium (the foundation on which Google Chrome is built) and its components, WebKit, WebKit Core, WebKit Port, and     WebKit Glue.   Jerri Ledford has been a freelance business technology writer for more than ten years, publishing more than 1,000 articles, profiles, news stories, and reports. She develops and teaches technology training courses on topics ranging from security to customer service. Ledford also helps optimize websites for Google and writes about technology topics ranging from search engine optimization to consumer security and identity theft. She has written 18 books, four of which are about Google applications: Google Analytics, Google Analytics 2.0, Google Powered: Productivity with Online Tools, and Google AdSense for Dummies.   Yvette Davis is Managing Editor for Brighthub.com’s Google Channel and Contributing Editor for its Linux Channel.www.WebGeeksGuide.com   Table of Contents Introduction      1   Part 1: Google Chrome and Browsing the Way It Should Be   Chapter 1        Web Interactions Past and Present              9             The Theory of the Web-Based Operating System          10                         A Star Trek-esque Society       10                         Web-Based OS Is for the Future          10                         Mobility Must Come First         11                         Openness Is the Key to Mobility Is the Key to…          12             Browsing in an Application-Driven World         13                         Chaos, Fallen Orderly   13                         Web-Based from the Ground Up          14             Closing the Door          15   Chapter 2        What Google Chrome Brings to the Browser          17             NOT Your Momma’s Web Browser    18             Comparing Chrome to Other Browsers 19                         Internet Explorer           19                         Firefox             22                         Opera  24             Speed Depends on How You Handle the Code            26             Share and Share (Resources), Alike      31             Taking Out the Trash Keeps the Browser Moving Cleanly         32             Searching for the Right User Experience            34                         Tabbing Through Life        34                         Surfing Without Being Seen       36             It’s About the Right Amount of Chrome            37             Closing the Door          38   Chapter 3        Getting Started with Google Chrome           39             A Quick and Easy Download       40                         Chrome and Your Privacy Concerns      42                         Download and Install Chrome   43                         Initial Chrome Customization        44             Everybody Has a First Time Once        46                         Chrome Grows with You          46                         Chrome Page Controls 47             Point and Click, or Type           49                         Bookmark Manager     50             Your Browser, Your Way: Basic Customization            52             Closing the Door          55   Chapter 4        It’s Everything: The Omnibox (Plus Some)  57             If It Is Everything, You Should Use It for Everything      58                         The Usual Address Bar Duties  58                         Security Indicators        59                         A Few Other Functions            60             And Then There Are Page Controls      61             More Customization and Controls         64                         The Basics Tab 65                         The Minor Tweaks Tab            67                         The Under the Hood Tab          68             Closing the Door          69   Chapter 5        Stability on the Net    71             Consequences of a Crash         72                         Crash Management       72                         Chrome’s Task Manager          73                         Stats for Nerds    74             So Why Won’t It Crash?          76                         Isolated Tabs Equals Increased Security            76                         Using Memory More Efficiently             Extra Precautions: You Can Never Be Too Safe           78             There’s No Little Black Box in the Browser        82             Weaving a Multithreaded Web  84             Closing the Door          86   Chapter 6        Safe Browsing on a Threatening Web          87             It’s Not If, It’s When You’re Attacked 88                         Chrome Saves the Day?           90                         Secure Sockets Layer     91                         Security Certificates      93             What Threat Level?      95                         Viruses 96                         Spyware           97                         Trojans 97                         A Phishing Reminder       98             Got Sand?
