Google Chrome , new open source browser from Google

September 1, 2008



It is reported that Google is planning to release its Google Browser known as "Google Chrome" tomorrow. Another browser ?, yes and Google is serious about it. Google Chrome is claimed to be streamlined and simple as well as clean and fast. I haven't seen any of Google Chrome in action before, here I put an image of Google Chrome courtesy of Techcrunch. Meanwhile take a look at this comic strip that explains about technical design of Google Chrome.

Built from open source Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox components, Google Chrome is open sourced as well. On the official Google Blog it is said Google Chrome will keep each tab in an isolated sandbox, hence to prevent tab interfering another and provide better improved protection. They also boasts more powerful Javascript engine, V8 that will power up the next generation of web applications that aren't possible in others today's web browsers.

By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent
one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from
rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We
also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next
generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's
browsers

So lets be prepared to become beta tester of this new beast from Google.
