[Update] Es sind nun die ersten Bilder des Browsers aufgetaucht. Natürlich ist er gewohnt schlicht gehalten. So wie Google das bei all seinen Produkten tut, ist es ja auch der Schlüssel des Erfolges, für manche. Wie dem auch sei, blogoscoped-again.

[Original] Neuer Browser von Google, auf Basis von Webkit^[1] mit einer dänischen, schnellen virtuellen Maschine für JavaScript.

Google hat das ganze heute mit einem Comic (welches eingescannt 38 Seiten umfasst), gezeichnet von Mister Understanding Scott McCloud, in der Welt verkündet.^[2] Und damit Details zu einem eigenen Browser preisgegeben. Demnach entsteht der Browser im Rahmen des Projekts Google Chrome und basiert auf der Rendering-Engine Webkit, nutzt eine eigene, besonders schnelle JavaScript-Implementierung und wird von Hause aus mit Gears geliefert.

Der folgende Rest stammt aus dem Blogoscoped-Blog, welches zu 80% aus Google besteht :-) Ich wollte das eigentlich noch nett aufarbeiten, schlafe aber gerade ein und mache das morgen… oder so.

• The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8, built from scratch by a team in Denmark, and open-sourced as well so other browsers could include it. One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web today. Google also say they’re using a “multi-process design” which they say means “a bit more memory up front” but over time also “less memory bloat.” When web pages or plug-ins do use a lot of memory, you can spot them in Chrome’s task manager, “placing blame where blame belongs.”
• Google Chrome will use special tabs. Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.
• The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features. Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular amd more. The omnibox (“omni” is a prefix meaning “all”, as in “omniscient” – “all-knowing”) also lets you enter e.g. “digital camera” if the title of the page you visited was “Canon Digital Camera”. Additionally, the omnibox lets you search a website of which it captured the search box; you need to type the site’s name into the address bar, like “amazon”, and then hit the tab key and enter your search keywords.
• As a default homepage Chrome presents you with a kind of “speed dial” feature, similar to the one of Opera. On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs.

• Chrome has a privacy mode; Google says you can create an “incognito” window “and nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer.” The latest version of Internet Explorer calls this InPrivate. Google’s use-case for when you might want to use the “incognito” feature is e.g. to keep a surprise gift a secret. As far as Microsoft’s InPrivate mode is concerned, people also speculated it was a “porn mode.”
• Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar. Mozilla has a project called Prism that aims to do similar (though doing so may train users into accepting non-URL windows as safe or into ignoring the URL, which could increase the effectiveness of phishing attacks).
• To fight malware and phishing attempts, Chrome is constantly downloading lists of harmful sites. Google also promises that whatever runs in a tab is sandboxed so that it won’t affect your machine and can be safely closed. Plugins the user installed may escape this security model, Google admits.
