To change your search engine, go to the options. Click on the wrench in the right upper corner screen and go to the Settings section.

Once upon a time, sites were static pages, but which you and I could only receive the information we are interested in. Over the years, the Internet has developed, new technologies for developing web pages and programming languages have appeared, which made it possible to create dynamic sites, the content of which would change depending on the actions of visitors. This led to what we are now seeing in global network: ubiquitous penetration social networks, online games and services. From the point of view of Google, sites have become not just a collection of pages, but a collection of self-contained applications. Therefore, the world famous corporation decided to create new browser With user-friendly interface and lack of unnecessary elements that allows users to quickly and safely work with their favorite sites, and does not require much effort from us to install and configure. So in December 2008, the first stable version free browser Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is developed based on software open source.

In this case, one site hangs on separate tab does not in any way affect the operation of the browser as a whole and the operation of other sites opened on the surviving tabs.
