What is Google Chrome?
Google Chrome is a free web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine. It is designed to be secure, fast, simple and stable. Chrome supports plug-ins with the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI). Chrome sends details about its usage to Google through both optional and non-optional user tracking mechanisms.

There are extensive differences from its peers in Chrome's minimalism user interface, which is atypical of modern web browsers.
