Google announced in his blog the imminent publication of the first beta for Windows, Google Chrome, a web browser developed on components of Apple's WebKit (based in turn on KHTML KDE) and Mozilla Firefox, and it will also FOSS . A comic book of 38 pages of Scott McCloud (published under the license CC-by-nc 2.5 Creative Commons, also available in blogoscoped) describes the characteristics of the new browser, including an interpreter called JavaScript V8 (rewritten from scratch looking for efficiency), tabs on different processes (so that if a site provokes a bug in the browser, does not affect others), an intelligent system of completion of the address bar called omnibox (which looks not only at pages visited, but also the most common network), so incognito navigation and a "speed dial" as the Opera, among others.
