The Official Google Blog is reporting the release of a Google browser named Chrome. The Google team has decided to start from scratch and create an open source browser that is "...is clean and fast." According to the blog post "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." The desire for these isolated tabs was apparently the work of the Google Gears team who complained that current browsers were "...inherently single-threaded." To explain their thinking and describe the features of the Chrome browser, Google has created a comic book which does a great job I might add! Keep an eye out here for a download link, at the time of this post Chrome was not available to try but the Google guys are promising it's availability shortly.
