Google Chrome Web Browser Project Out Soon

Google Chrome will be the newest web browser on the block. Google will release their open source web browser shortly. They have an informative [if slightly too long] ‘comic’ that explains why they are releasing an open source web browser and the benefits of downloading and using it.
The main features is that each tab will be using separate process due to the multi-threaded nature of the browser. Which means less hang ups and crashes.
Google Chrome will also have an ‘undercover’ mode where any pages viewed via this method will leave no history and cookies are deleted on exit of this mode. Handy for accessing sites at work, college or university!
Windows versions are due very shortly with Linux and Mac versions not too far behind.
Once it’s released I’ll download it, give it a test drive and report back to you via this blog. I must admit it sounds really good, and my only concern is what will Google do with the data, that they in all probability will be gleaning from you using their product?
Some preview images are available here.
Microsoft and Mozilla should be worried about this product. Very worried indeed.
