Google Chrome : Googles take on browser
Posted by Rahul in browser, google
With a few hours to go before Google unveils the first beta version of its open source browser, Google Chrome. I am getting ready to try my hands on it. As with most of Google launches there is a lot of talk & hype about the success of its new product.
These are a few things you can expect from the browser as per Google
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. 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.
Google chrome promises to be fast, clean, streamlined but yet simple. It uses components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox, among others. We won't know what Google Chrome will look like till tomorrow, when they make the beta available for download, but Techcrunch has a few screenshots of how it might look
