Google's Latest Browser CHROME

Google has launched its Web Browser called Chrome. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends -- all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there.

We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build.

Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser project.
As rumored before under the name of “Google Browser”, this will be based
on the existing rendering engine Webkit. Furthermore, it will include
Google’s Gears project.

The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8
built from scratch by a team in Denmark, and open-sourced as well so other
browsers could include it. One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript
performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web
today. Google also say they’re using a “multi-process design” which they say
means “a bit more memory up front” but over time also “less memory bloat.”
When web pages or plug-ins do use a lot of memory, you can spot them in
Chrome’s task manager, “placing blame where blame belongs.”

Google Chrome will use special Tabs.
Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab
buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.

Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address
bar and toolbar.
Mozilla has a project called Prism that aims to do similar (though doing so
may train users into accepting non-URL windows as safe or into ignoring the
URL, which could increase the effectiveness of phishing attacks).
