Chrome Experiments

WOW! I mean… WOW! Look at what people are doing using the power of HTML5 + a very fast Javascript Engine!

Those experiments are collected here: Chrome Experiments (note the subtitle: “Not your mother’s JavaScript” - LOL).

Bear in mind: this is not only because of Chrome itself. This is the power of HTML5 Canvas element, plus, of couse, the very (very) fast V8 Javascript engine). And indeed, I ran them on my Safari 4 beta without a glitch: the Javascript engine, SquirrelFish Extreme (SFX) is pretty good too.

Google Chrome: Is it the next generation of Browsers?

I don’t have an answer to this, it’s too early (we don’t even have a screenshot of it). But I strongly suggest to take a look a the Google Chrome Comic Book: a very new, fresh, funny and precise (!!!) way to introduce an incoming software.

They discuss a lot of different topics:

* Problems they wanted to solve

* Performance

* Process Isolation

* Javascript VM and Performance

* Sandboxing

* Phishing and Malware

* UI principles

Very interesting. And, again, very innovative.

Ah, the Rendering Engine they chosen is… WebKit (what a surprise!!! ;-) ) and… it’s fully open source.

An early leaked screenshot follows.
