Google Chrome is an interesting new web browser with some exciting technological changes.

The most obvious of these is that the address bar is now 'inside' the tabs. Given that the address is different for each tab this makes sense and does actually make the already clean interface look even more efficient.

The browser itself is based on the Webkit software used by Apple's Safari browser. The Javascript engine (used for Ajax-based web 2.0 websites such as Google's own Googlemail) is all new. A major advance is that each tab can run Javascript without having to wait for the others to finish.

In fact each tab works as a separate process in Windows, much like each one being a separate program. This helps to conserve system memory on the computer and should mean that if there is a problem with one tab, the others will keep working as normal.

One interesting new feature is the Incognito support that enables you to securely and safely browse the Internet without leaving a trace of your browsing experience, both online or offline.

It is still early days for this browser, but the genuine innovation and improved interface hint of good things to come.

This is the brand new v3 which brings speed improvements, an enhanced tab page, support for HTML5, themes and much more.
