更新 今天我下载试用了这个软件.大多数站点都能够正常、快速浏览（看下面的那张Chrome的内存统计页面，竟然会显示自己跟其他浏览器对比，这个数据是都只打开PageTalks页面取得的。FF其实已经加入了很多插件了，这个对比显然不公平）. 并且,你可以在这个浏览器中整合你想要的网络应用程序,或者创建到网络应用的快捷方式. 有人说这不仅仅是对IE8的一种挑战,而且是对MS本身的一次挑战,因为Google Chrome表演的角色是在云计算时代的一个操作平台,绝非单纯的网页浏览器.
Google要做浏览器了！疯掉了，这个世界疯掉了！这个场景让我们回到之前传言Google要开发手机一样……不过事实表明，只有我们想不到的，没有Google做不到的。事实上英文版的Google Chrome已经在今天发布了。
从界面来看，我们设计了一个简单而高效的浏览器窗口。对大多数人来说，浏览器本身并不重要，它只是一个能够运行互联网网页、网站和网络应用等重要程序的工具。正如谷歌的经典主页，谷歌浏览器延续了简洁、快速的设计理念，帮助用户快速准确地到达目的地。
从根本上讲，我们提供了一个能更好地支持各种复杂网络应用的浏览器基础平台。通过让每一个标签相互独立开来，从而避免了两个标签页产生冲突的可能，同时面对来自恶意网站的攻击，谷歌浏览器提供了更好的保护。我们提高了浏览器整体上的速度和响应度。我们还建立了一个更强大的 JavaScript 引擎 V8，以便为下一代网络应用技术提供支持，这些网络应用在目前的浏览器上几乎不可能实现。
Google的官方如是说，对广大用户来说，算是又多了一个简洁、快速的浏览器。（相信会和Google服务无缝链接）
对于开发者来说，JS V8的支持是一个亮点（不过现在JS V8过于前沿？）。必须注意的是，Google Chrome是基于Webkit的浏览器，我们能够大胆猜测，在Safari下能够测试通过的网页，在Google Chrome也应该没问题，希望……
Google有特地强调安全机制方面问题，我不知道会不会造成脚本和各种嵌入元素的安全特性造成改变。种种猜测，希望在正式版发布之后给我们一个答复吧！

Update I test Google Chrome today. Most sites are displayed properly in this browser. (See the picture below. It’s a system page in Chrome where shows the clear comparision to other browsers on memory usage. System gets date when I only open PageTalks in FF and Chrome, which is apparently unfair as FF has lots of plugin enabled……) Most importantly, it’s fast and combined with quick links to any web service. You can custom shortcuts to your favorite web applications. And a auto type checking. Others say that it’s not only a challenge to IE8 but it’s totally a challenge to MS, as it’s supposed to be a new operation platform in Cloud Computing era.
Google is beginning to develop its own brwoser. Crazy, huh? This remind us of the familiar situation when rumor saying that Google was creating its own cell-phone. It turns out that there is nothing Google can’t create, just something you can’t imagine. In fact, Google has released a Google Chrome beta today.
On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff — the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.
As Google explains, for most end-users, they have one more choice of brower which is undoubtly clear, fast. (We believe that all Google Service will connect to Google Chrome seamlessly).
For all developers, JS V8 is not a highlight ( but a little remote application?) We should note that Google Chrome is based on Webkit. Therefore we can predict that the websites working well in Safari will act perfectly in Google Chrome as well. (Hopefully). Google has emphasized on the security issues, which makes me thinking whether this means a lot some changes the way scripts and embedded elements work.Hope we will get answers in the finnal release.
