If you haven't heard, tomorrow, Tuesday September 2nd, Google is scheduled to release it's own beta version of a web browser called Chrome. When it becomes available the Chrome download will be at this link... http://www.google.com/chrome
Even though Google has been supporting the Mozilla Firefox browser and recently extended a contract with them through 2011, they've decided to put out their own. It's supposedly been in development for 4 years and was done to make all browsers more powerful by building a 'solid foundation for modern web applications'.
Some of the features will include that it is multi-threaded with each process having it's own memory. Tabs, that will be above the address bar rather than below, will operate in their own memory and theoretically only one tab would be effected by crashes, not the entire browser. A built in Process Manager, that will monitor tab by tab which web aps are hogging your CPU and Bandwidth. A built in Javascript they've developed that is supposed to run Web aps faster, called V8. A Tabs page that displays 9 of you most frequented sites, searches, and recently bookmarked or closed sites. An auto complete in the address bar, and with built in keyword suggestions. Plus built in anti-phishing, and controls over pop-ups and web aps with Googles 'Gears'. You can find some screen shots here.
For those of us bloging, or have sites on the net, a heads-up. You may want to test drive Chrome with your sites to see how they display, and if you'll need to make any changes. Worse than not being found on Google would be for our clients to find our sites not working well with their new web browser, especially if it gains anywhere near the popularity of it's search engine.
