Google Chrome - Google’s New Web Browser offering

September 2nd, 2008 Posted in Browsers

If anyone hasn’t seen the announcements already, Google has finally come out with its own web browser titled Google Chrome.  It has a lot of rich features which were not available in some of the other browsers.  Remember the times when a web site managed to bring a browser to its knees and you had to kill off all of the browser sessions?  Google has fixed this by starting each tab of a browser as a separate process.  It is also built upon open source technologies (typical for Google) such as WebKit with some structure from the Mozilla foundation.  

Take a look and take it for a spin.  The download was really simple and quick.  There’s only a PC version out there for now but I’m sure that they have a Linux and Mac version in the works.

    “We are so, so happy with Google Chrome,” mumbled Mozilla CEO John Lilly through gritted teeth. “That most of our income is from Google has no bearing on me making this statement.” - http://notnews.today.com/?p=57
