The New Guy In Town

It's not a guy actually,
What I'm talking about is the new browser from Google
- the Google Chrome (Beta).


Google claims that its product is much faster and more capable at handling the increasingly larger web programs that run in browsers nowadays, which would help boost surfing speed, and it has lots of revolutionary functions which is not available in other browsers eg. Firefox, Netscape, Opera, Safari.... (lets not talk about IE shall we - you know how much it sucks) and they have improvised on the functions which are currently available on its counterparts.

I won't be reviewing the application yet, just wanna share this new product with everyone.



It can be downloaded from the site: http://www.google.com/chrome

And this is the interesting thing that I have just dug from the web:
A 38-page comic book explaining its features by Google,drawn by Scott McCloudat at:
http://blogoscoped.com/google-chrome



Below are some of the functions available on Google Chrome.

First off,

Chrome offers tabbed browsing — nothing new to Firefox and Internet Explorer users. But with Google’s browser, each tab functions independently; meaning that if a fatal error occurs in one tab, for example, only that tab needs to be closed.

With the other browsers, such an error would result in the user having to close all the tabs and restart the browser.

Google has also gone back to the drawingboard with Chrome. It is introducing its own Javascript virtual machine developed by a company called V8, from Denmark.

As for the other functions... read the comic or download and try it yourself.

And most of all, it's FREE! So, no harm trying, right?
