Google Chrome: Is it the next generation of Browsers?

2 Sep, 2008 

Google Chrome
I don’t have an answer to this, it’s too early (we don’t even have a screenshot of it). But I strongly suggest to take a look a the Google Chrome Comic Book: a very new, fresh, funny and precise (!!!) way to introduce an incoming software.

They discuss a lot of different topics:

  • Problems they wanted to solve
  • Performance
  • Process Isolation
  • Javascript VM and Performance
  • Sandboxing
  • Phishing and Malware
  • UI principles

Very interesting. And, again, very innovative.

Ah, the Rendering Engine they chosen is… WebKit (what a surprise!!! ;-) ) and… it’s fully open source.

An early leaked screenshot follows.

    Mate, I think it’s WAY faster, but you can see it only when you are on website using A LOT of Javascript: on normal website it’s more or less like normal Webkit.

    Google contributed V8, the Javascript Engine used by Chrome, back to Webkit; along with some changes even in the rendering itself.

    Let’s see how Safari will be in the future ;)
