Google’s Chrome Browser

Making a browser that will go against Microsoft`s Internet Explorer and Mozilla`s Firefox is not easy. Google says that their engineer has worked on their new browser, Chrome for two years. When they were making this browser they made it seem that web pages are not just pages but similar to applications. This is something that Firefox has tried to focus on their current release.

Chrome has taken actual code from other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and the same Webkit engine which is used by Safari. From Firefox they took some anti-phishing tools. One important part that Chrome has developed is its JavaScript rendering engine, which uses a virtual machine to optimize JavaScript execution and to monitor.

The two main features that Chrome has been hyped for are isolated tabs and speedy Javascript performance. Internet Explorer 8 beta already features isolated tabs and Firefox will have an extention called TraceMonkey to speed up javascript performance. THe first version will only be relaeased for Windows, but they are working on a version for Mac and Linux.
