Editor's Notes
- #6: Security: Google distributes your information across their servers, making it for harder for hackers to locate all your information.
- #7: Using new formats, VP9 for video. VP9 uses ½ bandwidth compared to H.264 codec. WebP, alternative to JPEG to cut files sizes by one third. Working on date compression proxy for Chrome on mobile devices, which rewrites HTML, CSS, JavaScript and converts images to WebP and uses SPDY networking protocol to make websites load faster and conserve battery power.
- #38: Apps use SSL( secure sockets layer) to encrypt data. http vs https
- #63: No software bloat. Automatic
