Google's new browser-Chrome, what it means for parents

Google released their new browser yesterday which promises a faster and more secure online experience. There are many features about the product which combined with the popularity of Google and Gmail will make this a prominent web browser very quickly. From a concerned parents point of view it does make it easy to see the Internet history. Two clicks and you are there and its easily understood. The links are live so you can make another click and see the site in question. It does have a feature that parents need to be concerned over and if they are using the browser to have a conversation with their teens over its use. The new feature is called the "New incognito window". When its is clicked a new tab opens up that allows for stealth Internet surfing. No Internet history is logged and cookies from sites are not placed on the computer. So, if using Google Chrome as your web browser you really do need to have the talks with your kids. Create an Internet Usage Agreement, and consider using some type of monitoring or logging software like Spector Pro.
