Chrome is coming!
After prematurely releasing a comic book declaring its existence, Google finally ‘fessed up about its entry into the browser market, Chrome, coming tomorrow.
Looks like Windows users get first crack at the beta tomorrow, which seems like a good idea as this browser seems to be aimed squarely at Redmond. I am most excited about Chrome’s “sandbox” concept, which isolates tabs to their own processes so one crash or slow-loading page won’t force you to quit/restart the browser. With the new V8 Javascript engine that it has built, Google could make its online apps much more feature-rich and the user experience more desktop-esque if the performance is as good as they say it is. Time will tell.
My only question is how much money is Google going to make from itself from the little search box in the corner? I kid, I kid.
