Google Chrome

Chrome is a new, open-source web browser from Google.

Google explains what differentiates Chrome from other browsers in a comic book here. This is a great idea that explains complex things in a simple way - and can only help Chrome gain traction.

Some of the highlights:

  • tabs are individual browser processes that are sandboxed from each other
  • sandboxes have no write capabilities to the local machine (although plug-ins might)
  • includes its own highly optimized javascript virtual machine (V8)
  • includes anti-malware/anti-phishing
Hopefully the download link will be posted soon.
