Google to launch Chrome web browser tomorrow

[Dalo Harkin]

Google has just announced it is set to release a new web browser tomorrow built from the ground up and based on WebKit, the same rendering engine that Safari uses. The browser, dubbed Chrome, is open-source software built with security, compatibility and speed in mind – and of course it’ll integrate various Google services in it.

 

Google chose a rather interesting way to announce their open source web browser project. In a 38 page comic book the company explains some of the browser’s features, such as the fact that it will include a new JavaScript virtual machine and the Google Gears add-on by default. Chrome is said to be a better solution for complex and rich Web applications, delivering better performance as well as “smoother drag and drops” in interactive applications.

hmm tried this out, and didnt like it mostly due to the fact a lot of popups kept coming up lol.

give it time - when they launch their OS - it will be incorporated into that and you will not get pop ups ;)

The one draw back of chrome though, is that it use twice as much memory... as say IE. For people like me who have well outdated pc's.... that's not good. I'll stick with Opera for now ;)
