I get the feeling that the gravity around Google is increasing in 2008. With everything Google has done in 2008, it just announced Chrome, A fresh take on the browser. There is a comic that provides an explanation of what Google Chrome is and why it was developed.
Google Chrome has the potential to be extremely disruptive to the web browser and web application space. It is not based on Mozilla and is a unique fresh start for a web browser that is optimized for Javascript. It uses a Javascript virtual machine engine called V8, is multi-process/multithreaded, implements virtualization internally, optimized with Gears, and uses the WebKit rendering engine. The comic explains it all. For best level of detail, reading the comic is highly recommended.
They are releasing the new browser to the world tomorrow as open source. Tomorrow will be interesting. I plan to download Chrome and give it's Javascript V8 rendering engine a test drive.
