Google launches internet browser


"The browser is designed to be lightweight and fast, and to cope with the next generation of web applications that rely on graphics and multimedia"

"New features will included "isolated" tabs designed to prevent browser crashes and a more powerful JavaScript engine."

"All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends -- all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build."
