Google is ready to launch its browser chrome in Beta mode on Tuesday.(09/02/2008)
This has come as a pleasant surprise and wonder how secretive Google has been about this development. Chrome will have traits from both firefox and safari.
–It has a tab-centric interface, with a default home page that shows snapshots of your favorite sites and new memory management techniques designed to prevent tabs from bogging down your browsing;
–It uses sandboxing to prevent malware from doing damage to your PC;
–It includes built-in anti-phishing;
–It uses an all-new JavaScript implementation designed to provide snappy performance for Web-based applications;
–It includes Gears, the Google-initiated platform that helps online apps provide offline capabilities;
–It’s open source;
–It’s based on Webkit, the same open-source browser engine that powers Apple’s Safari.
