We have already seen in recent news that Google reserved - legitimately - some advantages and features to its own services and machinery. For example, Google Maps navigation, 3D view of buildings in vector or Google Music , many services that are currently available on the Android smartphones.
So too with its web browser Chrome, which offers some functionality related to Google that you can not find - or not in the same form - in other browsers. The blog Google Operating System has wisely listed seven features available exclusively in Chrome .
1. Printing natively in Google Docs. It is more useful to download PDFs in Adobe Reader to print. You can print directly from Google Chrome.
2. Import files into Google Docs. Other browsers require the installation of a Java applet to do so. This is not the case for Google Chrome.
3. Speech input in Google Translate. The latest version of Google Chrome can tell the browser to obtain a translation of the text, rather than enter the keyboard. We talked about it here: Google is experimenting with voice search on the PC .
4 & 5. The notification alerts on your desktop to Gmail and Google Calendar. When you receive a new email or you must be warned of an impending next appointment, Chrome sends a warning not too intrusive on your desktop.
6. Opening PDF attachments in the integrated viewer. Rather than opening the PDFs in Google Docs, Chrome opens them directly in the browser.
7. Drag and drop attachments Gmail. If in Firefox you can already drag an attachment from your desktop into an email, the reverse is not possible. Google Chrome, if you can drag an attachment received in an email directly to your desktop.
Cosmetic features may encourage large consumers to take the plunge and leave their current browser to Google Chrome ...
