Original Article:
Google today announced, they had intentions to enter the fierce competition between internet web browser manufacturers, by introducing it’s own. Chrome, will be the big G’s new, open-source, web browser.
Among the features announced:
- New JavaScript engine called V8 for faster performance
- “Special tabs” above the window, not below the address bar
- Address bar auto-completion
- Opera-like “Speed Dial” with thumbnails of your most visited 9 websites
- Privacy mode
- Web apps can be launched in their own window without addressbar/toolbar
The browser will run on the same technologies as Apple’s Safari currently does by incorporating the Web Kit interface.
Google has taken a new slant on advertising it’s browser, publishing a comic-styled walk through over at AllThingsD. The browser will initially be offered for Windows only, but Mac and Linux versions are on the way.
