Google approach to browser .

I am sure you guys are rocking with new born Google chrome. This is my first post out of Google Chrome - The google's approach to browser . you know what, even while composing this I was missing - 'built in dictionary feature of Firefox'.

I've installed it on my vista and first look impressions are awesome. It's very clean and easy to use. Though it's not revolutionary as official blog claims it: it's a blend of google innovation and components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox.

Noticeably, quite fast on google related services ! But what's interesting to note about this browser is :
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful Javascript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.
The often crash reports in Internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox can be weeded out with this new avatar of browser !

It's the unfortunate fate of google, that people have started to see anything out of google garage with a monopolistic suspicion. Web is already divided over 'Does Google Have Rights to Everything You Send Through Chrome?" and google's own statement "wouldn't it be great, then to start from scratch and design something based on the needs of the today's web applications and today's users ?" Tech experts already started figuring out the negatives of Chrome.

I am hooked to web to weigh the pro's and cons in shifting to chrome from 'beloved' Firefox. Surprisingly I am still using Firefox V2.0, Reason ? My favorite extension 'Tab mix plus' is not officially released to FF 3.0. I feel kind of handicapped without that extension :D

This shows the capacity and capability of google in pushing technology and innovation to the limit. And it's simple: If you can't play the game, change the rules of it !
