Google Chrome - Googles Browser

Google confirmed to lauch "Google Chrome" browser later today. Their project is a revolutionary one and we have to wait and see how big it will be a competitor for some of the well known browsers (Firefox, Safari, IE, Maxthon etc).

They released a 38 page comic book, which gives all the details of Google Chrome web browser. As per the comic book, this browser architectural design sounds appealing. Click on this link to read more details: Google Chrome Comic book

Chrome appears to be a radical reworking of a modern browser's internal architecture, with each tabbed session in the browser running as its own process. Plugins are run as separate child processes to the tabbed sessions process. This decoupling, along with a more isolating security model which keeps web page executable content on a tight lead, is designed to give a more reliable browser. One web page locking up does not lock up the entire browser. There is even a task manager for advanced users to identify badly performing processes and selectively stop them.

Chrome uses the Webkit engine, also used by Apple's Safari and Nokia among others, to render web pages. JavaScript execution is handled by V8, yet another new high performance JavaScript engine in the mold of TraceMonkey and SquirrelFish, with dynamic code generation and optimisation and a precise memory management for fast garbage collection. Chrome has also incorporated Google's Gears as standard, giving web applications in Chrome access to database, geolocation and desktop integration.

The most visible changes in Chrome are in its tabs, home page and address bar. The tabs for pages appear to be located at the very top of the window, with the address bar and tools underneath. The home page is dynamically composed of your top nine used sites in a three by three thumbnail view and with your most common searches listed to the right of the thumbnails. The address bar is now "the Omnibox", described as an extra smart autocompleting text field, drawing completion data from your web searches as well as your browser bookmarks and history. For those worried about their privacy, a private browsing mode is also built in so users won't see that surprise gift for a loved one appearing in the Chrome home page.

Google has stated that Chrome will be an open source application, with the terms described indicating a BSD or Apache permissive licence. A beta version for Windows will be released on September 2nd with Mac and Linux versions being developed.
