Security, Sandboxing, and Safe Browsing:-

Google Chrome is being developed with the assumption that you will encounter malware online. Each tab is contained within its own sandbox that stops malicious behavior.

Google will also continually download a list of phishing sites and list of malware sites to your computer, which will be used to warn you when you visit them. Site owners will be notified when their sites are put on either of the lists so false positives can be remedied.

1. New JavaScript engine called V8 for faster performance
2. "Special tabs" above the window, not below the address bar (see image above)
3. Address bar auto-completion
4. Opera-like "Speed Dial" with thumbnails of your most visited 9 websites
5. Privacy mode
