Google Chrome - Google’s Browser Project

There were rumors for sometime that Google is creating a browser, supposedly called the gBrowser. Just like the Android buzz, it was apparently true. 

Google released (and took back) videos of their newest product, the Google Chrome. It offers a modern approach on how should browsers behave. Like most modern browsers, it has tabs but what makes it special is how it handles the hosts memory. Today’s tabbed browsers allocate memory only for itself and all it’s tabs share the space. If the user created more tabs, the browser allocates more memory to accomodate the tabs. So when you load lots of tabs, the system gets slower and slower. Also when a single webpage/webapp that is loaded on a tab become too busy, it jeopardizes the other tabs as well, making it system freeze also.

Chrome, on the other hand, allocates memory for each tab, isolating it from each other. So when a certain tab gets too much resources than the usual, you can close it without affecting the other tabs. Also, you can monitor which sites are actually slow and forces the developer to be more conscious about their application.

You can learn more about Google Chrome here, and also they have a lengthy web comics right here.
