For those that haven’t seen it already, Google have produced a rather funky comic explaining their forthcoming browser, Chrome.
As both a marketing and technical exercise it looks pretty impressive, although Google’s geography seems to leave something to be desired – see page 13 to see what I mean.
There are a lot of good ideas here, particulary with respect to security, and I’m extremely keen to see what the finished product will look like. Probably just as interesting will be to see how well Google can use the Open Source community once it’s released, and integrate contributions from elsewhere into Chrome.
Update 03/Sept/08 – Google Chrome is now released, including the source code which is under a BSD License.
Update 2, 03/Sept/08 – The first proof of concept DoS vulnerability has already been released which crashes the whole browser, something the architecture is supposed to avoid.
