Google unveiled a surprise product yesterday—the Google Chrome open-source web browser. And, in a move that’s quite Google-like, the world first knew of this browser through an online comic book. According to the Google blog, since the company employees were always working on a browser, it only seemed natural to work on one.
Google aims for the Chrome to be simple and efficient, working on it to become a solid product rather than concentrating on features. An emphasis on the development that should be noted is that the developers created tabs to be in sandboxes, isolating one from the other. This way, whenever something crashes one tab, the others won’t be affected. The different components of the web bowser such as JavaScript, et al, work individually and aren’t interconnected so it will be easy to pinpoint errors if there are any. The Chrome comic does a great job explaining all of those with illustrations so you can understand it better. The Google Chrome web browser is expected to beta launch today; make sure to monitor the Google blog if you want to have an early look at it.
