Google owns you, but it should buff up nicely

Search, advertising, email, android,

Now its Chrome , Google’s browser to be. Its promising to be good, with some quite smart ideas

Theres a little comic strip explaining all the juicy details. Its all comes down to:

  • Separate process for each tab
  • New javascript engine (It compiles it into a machine code for a virtual machine)
  • Their huge test suite (they can run loads of rendering tests on the own web page index. Nice)
  • Being able to close tabs which have hung
  • Gears- transferable features between browsers. Need something from another browser which isn’t a plugin? Just use a gear!

Lets hope they deliver! Even if they didn’t its a good contribution to the open source mind share.
