Google Chrome - New Web Browser

As it is, I'm pretty stocked when it comes to the browsers, but I'm looking forward to the new Google browser. After reading their comic that explains whats new about the browser, I am anxious to see what its like.

Read the comic here... might be too busy to browse at times: Google on Google Chrome - comic book

A few highlights:
Independent, isolated and quarantined processes make it so that browser tabs 1) use their own resources 2) can be attached to any window without interrupting the state 3) cannot interact with the hard drive or the OS 4) can crash without affecting any other tab.

Plugins (most notably flash) use their own processes, so if they crash, the rest of the page continues to function.

A JavaScript VM designed to speed up JS for modern web applications.

It launches tomorrow, so I'll check it out.

Who is with me?

Check out the official google blog post: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/...n-browser.html
