Named the Google Chrome, Google the ubiquitous online Goliath is releasing their own fully open source web browser. So whatisit? Google's official blog explains:
On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff -- the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. 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 beta version will be launching and available for download tomorrow Tuesday, September 2 in over 100 countries. Windows only for the time being, with Mac and Linux to arrive soon.
I. Cannot. Wait. To. Try. This. Baby. Out! W00t w00t!11!
