Chrome

Web På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-26

Everyday term for Google Chrome (browser). See the main term google-chrome for full description.

"Chrome" in UI jargon also means "browser chrome" = the part of the browser window that isn't the web page (URL bar, tabs, menus). The term comes from "wrapping the content in chrome" — coined by Mozilla engineers around 2003. Easy to confuse: Chromium (open-source basis for Chrome).
