Google live on
the Internet and so it makes sense that they would want to influence the nuts and bolts of
web browsing. To that end they have introduced their own browser,
Chrome.
Some of the choices made in creating the browser such as multiple processes, secrecy mode and a brand new
Java interpreter are interesting to say the least and are well explained in the
accompanying comic. (It’s Google, of course it’s a comic!)
You can download the browser
here (
Windows only at the moment, Mac and
Linux to follow). It’s certainly worth a look and, as the code has been
open-sourced, it’s only a matter of time until at least some of the ideas appear elsewhere.
Browser wars in 2008. Who’d have thought?
