These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
The goal is to
fix all broken links on the web .
Crawls of supported "No More 404" sites.
A daily crawl of more than 200,000 home pages of news sites, including the pages linked from those home pages. Site list provided by

Safe Browsing , helps protect against the three most common threats on the web: phishing, drive-by malware, and harmful downloads. We recently announced some new enhancements to Safe Browsing, so we thought we’d offer an inside look into how it works.video on Safe Browsing . If Chrome detects that you’ve visited a page on the list, it warns you with a large red page that helps you get back to safety.turn these features off .making the web a safer place for everyone, so we also make the Safe Browsing API available for free to other browsers and websites.Posted by Niels Provos, Software Engineer, and Ian Fette, Product Manager
Cross posted to: dartlang.org and the Google Code Blog original Rosetta Stone to be discovered, which helped translate the Egyptian Hieroglyphs. We couldn’t wait that long to bridge the Dart and JavaScript worlds, so today we are releasing the JavaScript to Dart Synonym app .our app that maps between JavaScript and Dart eases your introduction to Dart and gives you a sense of where the project is going. We know the team is eager to hear your feedback. Don’t hesitate to join the conversation or file a new issue for either Dart or the Synonym app. And remember, Dart isn’t set in stone, so your feedback counts.Posted by Aaron Wheeler and Marcin Wichary
In the two years since we announced SPDY , we’ve been working with the web community on evolving the spec and getting SPDY deployed on the Web.added SPDY support , which means that soon half of the browsers in use will support SPDY. On the server front, nginx has announced plans to implement SPDY , and we're actively working on a full featured mod-spdy for Apache . In addition, Strangeloop , Amazon , and Cotendo have all announced that they’ve been using SPDY.best practices document can also help website operators make their sites as speedy as possible.here , with slides here .Posted by Roberto Peon and Will Chan, Software Engineers
One of my favorite features of Chrome got a boost earlier today, as we announced support for an experimental new “autocomplete type” attribute for form fields. The new attribute will allow web developers to unambiguously label text and select fields with common data types such as ‘full-name’ or ‘street-address’ and guarantee that their site’s forms work correctly with Chrome Autofill and other form-filling providers.x-autocompletetype to indicate that this is still experimental and not yet a standard, similar to the webkitspeech attribute we released last summer.full text of the proposed specification, ask questions on the Webmaster help forum , or you can share your feedback in the standardization discussion !Posted by Ilya Sherman, Software Engineer
Since we open sourced WebRTC this past summer, we’ve been working hard with browser vendors to integrate WebRTC technology in their products. Today, we reached an important milestone: WebRTC is now integrated in the Chrome browser available on the dev channel.W3C and IETF and there are already plenty of apps in development. For example, companies like Polycom, Vonage, Vehix.com, Firespotter, Siemens, Nimbuzz and PCCW are currently actively developing browser based solutions using WebRTC.
If you are interested to learn more on how you can use WebRTC in your app, review our documentation , join our developer discussion group and go to the WebRTC blog for more details. We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with!Posted by Niklas Enbom, Software Engineer
When we first set out to design Chrome, we knew we had a unique opportunity to improve the security of the web. In addition to speed and simplicity, we’ve been adamant that security be a central tenet of everything we build. Chrome and the web have since come a long way, and we’ve been challenged to protect a complex and rapidly changing browser against the many threats that emerge on the web.Chrome security principles that guide the work that we do.support and fund the security research community in their work to identify weaknesses, and when vulnerabilities are found, we pride ourselves on patching them faster than any other browser.Posted by Justin Schuh and Travis McCoy, Chrome Security Team
