Some Google Chrome Features

I have been playing with Google chrome today and found some usefull features that others may enjoy:

Application Shortcuts
This allows you to place shortcuts on your computer that link you to web applications such as Gmail or Facebook. The cool thing about this is that it opens up the application in its own window without all the browser controls etc. This allows you to view more of the application as the screen real-estate is not taken up by the other browser controls.

Incongnito Window
The incognito window feature is pretty cool. It allows you to open a "Special Window" that will not "remember" any information about where you went or what you did. i.e. All cookies, URL's and sessions will not be stored in your history or browser cache. This is a nice feature that will allow you to surf your internet banking or "other" sites (naughty naughty) without the fear of the information being stored on your computer for someone else to find.

Javascript Speed
According to many reports on the internet the implemenation of Javascript in Google Chrome is significantly faster than in other browsers. This is pretty visible when browsing the internet. I think that this browser is much faster than anything I have used before.
