Google Chrome Beta Released
Last September 1, 2008, Google announced in their official web blog about the launching of their browser named as- Google Chrome. Google believed that with the launching of this browser will help drive innovation on the web. Well, obviously this is what people are looking nowadays.
As they said, this is still on its beta version and is temporarily available only for Windows Vista and XP. Google Chrome still needs to work out to meet MAC and Linux users. So, what are we going to expect with this new open source browser, Google Chrome?
Quoted from Google Blog: On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff — the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood of Google Chrome, 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.
As usual, Google has a nice presentation through a Comic Book. The comic book explained why Google Chrome is created and what we will expect from it. Let’s give it a try guys. Eventually, we can share our views about Google Chrome and will help the collaboration of driving the web forward.
Hey, have you tried it? Me, i installed last night and it’s quite fast. I compare it with IE7 and Mozilla.
