Google focused on trimming down unnecessary toolbar space to maximise browsing real estate. The browser is made up of 3 rows of tools, the top layer horizontally stacks automatically adjusting tabs, next to a simple new tabs icon and the standard minimize, expand & close windows controls. The middle row includes 3 navigation controls (Back, Forward & Stop/Refresh), a URL box which also allows direct Google web searching and a star bookmarking icon. Extensions and browser settings icons line up to the right of the URL box. The third row is made up of bookmark folders and installed apps. Easily overlooked now, this clean UI was a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded toolbars of popular browsers pre-2008.<br /> <br /> <b>Privacy</b><br /> Another hugely popular feature, Incognito mode allows you to browse privately by disabling history recording, reducing traceable breadcrumbs and removing tracking cookies on shutdown. <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/google-chrome-3301750117.html" target="_blank">Chrome’s</a> settings also allow you to customize regular browsing privacy preferences.<br /> <br /> <b>Security</b><br /> <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/02/google-chrome-3301750117.html" target="_blank">Chrome’s </a> Sandboxing prevents malware automatically installing on your computer or affecting other browser tabs.<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-chrome-3301750149.html" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Chrome</a> also has Safe Browsing technology built in with malware and phishing protection that warns you if you encounter a website suspected of containing malicious software/activity.

In recent years <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/mozilla-firefox-280-beta-8.html" target="_blank">Mozilla</a> has also focused on maximizing browsing area by simplifying toolbar controls to just a <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/mozilla-firefox-280-beta-8.html" target="_blank">Firefox</a> button (which contains settings and options) and back/forward buttons. The URL box features direct Google searching as well as an auto predict/history feature called Awesome Bar. On the right side of the URL box there are bookmarking, history and refresh buttons.

At the SXSW conference over the weekend, <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-to-launch-android-sdk-for.html" target="_blank">Sundar Pichai</a>, who oversees Android, Chrome and Google Apps for the company, said Google would be <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">releasing an Android SDK</a> for wearable developers by the end of the month. <br /> While Google is rumored to have its own Nexus-branded smartwatch on the way, possibly by the time <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-to-launch-android-sdk-for.html" target="_blank">Google</a> I/O kicks off in June (if not earlier), the SDK is designed for use with other <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-to-launch-android-sdk-for.html" target="_blank">smartwatch </a>makers using the wearable focused Android OS.<br /> Using an Android powered smart jacket as an example, Pichai also said at <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-to-launch-android-sdk-for.html" target="_blank">SXSW</a> that its wearable Android <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-to-launch-android-sdk-for.html" target="_blank">SDK</a> is not just for smartwatches but for wearables of all sorts. He said the company is releasing the developer kit well ahead of hardware release dates in order for Google to fine tune the system. Many have suggested this could be as much for developers of other wearable devices at it is a beta run for Google's own smartwatch technology.<br /> Beyond that, Pichai also mentioned some interesting <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/google-to-launch-android-sdk-for.html" target="_blank">developments</a> that could be on the horizon for the recently acquired Nest Labs.

The company on Friday <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">announced</a> a new streaming music service called <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">Milk</a>. It’s a bit unique in that it is free to download, free to use (no ads) and doesn’t require users to log in.<br /> Samsung worked with Slacker to develop the service which launches with some 200 radio stations and 13 million songs on tap. It uses a circular dial similar to classic analog radio dials. Simply slide your finger around the dial to “tune in” to various genres of music. If you find a channel that you like, you can then run your finger along the inside of the dial to select different channels within the genre.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> The user interface was <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">designed </a>to be easy to use – something that’s apparently a problem with other services. Samsung’s Ryan Bidan said there is a group of consumers that haven’t engaged yet in mobile music because current services are too hard to understand and people don’t like advertising while consumers that have taken the<a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank"> plunge</a> have been dissatisfied with the experience thus far.<br /> <br /> The service will initially be available for the Galaxy S III and S4, the Galaxy Note II and Note 3, the Galaxy Mega, the Galaxy S4 Mini and will be ready for the Galaxy S5 when it launches on April 11. It’s available through <a href="http://askneed.blogspot.com/2014/03/samsung-launches-milk-music-with.html" target="_blank">Google</a> Play and Samsung is considering bringing it to competing devices as well according to Daren Tsui, vice president of music at Samsung Media Solutions.
