Hvorfor er Google Chrome, Chrome? Nei. Ikke hvorfor det er en nettleser. Det kan være det mest absurde spørsmålet her. Hvorfor heter Chrome-nettleseren Chrome !? For det ukjente, skjedde Google Chrome ved et uhell, akkurat som mange flotte oppfinnelser tidligere. Og det har klatret populariteten fra da.
Hva om det samme spørsmålet dukker opp i hodet ditt, "Hva er årsaken bak navnet Chrome?"Et dumt, men godt spørsmål.
Vel, vi har et svar fra Glen Murphy, Designblokk, Google Chrome. I hans ord,
We had a ‘pick a codename’ vote early in the development cycle – the names that came of that competition were so terrible that we were all pretty happy when one of the leads overrode it and declared that the codename would be ‘Chrome’, presumably because he likes fast cars. When it came time to pick a real name for the product for shipping, we stuck with ‘Chrome’ because:
• During development, we’d all come to love the product deeply, and new names had a hard time breaking and bettering the associations we’d already formed with the codename.
• As our lead did, people associated it with speed – shiny fast engines and cars.
• In design terminology, ‘chrome’ refers to the non-webpage parts of the browser’s interface – the toolbars, tabs and buttons – because our design philosophy was “Content, not chrome” – putting our focus on minimizing the amount of browser UI present, we felt it cheekily appropriate to name the browser Chrome.
Also, I personally like it because of its relation to ‘chroma’ and ‘chromatic’ – I love the cacophony of colors that those words imply, and how that relates to the beautiful range of design across the web.
Den 3 år gamle Google Chrome er for tiden i sin 13. versjon, går bra.
Personlig, etter Internet Explorer, er Google Chrome nettleseren for meg. Last ned Google Chrome. Du vil like det!
På en dag eller to, vil jeg fortelle deg hvorfor Safari Browser muligens ble kalt Safari, så hold deg oppdatert!
