Google Chrome

Google launched Beta version of its own web browser named Chrome today. It's available for download and use, currently only for Windows users. They will be unveiling the Mac and Linux versions pretty soon as listed on their website.
Google has announced the launch on Sep 1 on the Official Google Blog. The project is Open-Source and Google has credited Apple's Webkit and Mozilla Firefox for some of the components and ideas. Chrome is based on Google's V8 engine, which is Google's open source JavaScript engine.
They have come up with a comic introduction for the inception and features of Google Chrome, which is worth read! Do read it here for two reasons, you will get to know about the ideas behind the browser, technical as well as non-technical. Then the best thing I liked was the thought and presentation! God, I never had thought that someone will introduce some tech app through a comic. What a brilliant thought it is! Whoever thought of the comic deserves accolades. It keeps you with itself and you keep on reading all pages. I don't remember when was the last time that I was reading about some product's brainchild and technical details. Whew, Well done Google! Another innovative idea, I will say!

Hiccups
I tried to install the browser and it was smooth. A 474 KB exe was downloaded in a snap and installation also was fast like other Google Apps. But, but but the pages failed to load and the browser threw an application error :(


I am gonna reinstall it and try again after some time.
