How to compare browser memory footprints with Chrome
jkOnTheRun —
... Like everyone else, I'm excited to try Chrome, Google's new browser. My MSI Wind netbook arrived about an hour before the beta browser, but I have it up and running already. My initial thoughts on Chrome: impressive in terms of rendering performance, but not glitzy or glamorous. That's OK, I'll take functional over fashionable every time. ...
Google brings out big guns in support of Chrome
Macworld —
... search has become such a fundamental part of Internet usage, anything that impacts overall Internet usage is important for Google,” he wrote in a research note Tuesday. “Also, while browser developments have to date had no material impact on Google’s advertising base, a hedge against future browser developments makes sense.” However, he noted, it remains to be seen whether users will consider Chrome faster, simpler and safer enough than current browsers to justify switching to it. Chrome is now available as a free download.

Today, Google's debut of Chrome, their next generation Web browser, was for Windows only, not for Macs. But putting my better judgement aside, I was willing to fire up ...
Straight out of Compton
Infinite Loop —
This afternoon I was all a-twitter about Chrome , Google's new web browser. Google's deft illustration of the technology and motivation behind Chrome left me primed for something interesting, and the actual product did not disappoint. My enthusiasm at this point is not so much about the product as it is about the methodology. Google didn't set out to merely improve upon existing web browsers. Instead, it attempted to rebuild the web browser from first principles. The last two successful web browsers have both taken minimalist approaches to their user ...
Simon Says, Google Chrome

While Chrome and Simon can both be described as speedy and minimalistic. Chrome probably isn't as much fun at parties. We're still eagerly awaiting a ...

This week at Mobile Tech Manor #6
jkOnTheRun —
... I tried a couple of new programs this week and came to appreciate a third app that I have used extensively in the past. The big news this week was the release of the Google Chrome browser for the Windows platform and I spent a fair amount of time with it. It's definitely a first attempt for Google but it's already good enough that I can see the potential. It's great the way it handles tabbed browsing and it is darn fast at rendering pages. There are some web pages that don't work well yet but give them some time and I have a feeling that Chrome will become ...

Having a Development Platform Doesn't Mean You Stop Competing
louisgray.com —
When Google's Chrome browser debuted, I openly asked if we ever thought the application would see the light of day on Apple's iTunes App Store, or if Cupertino would keep the door closed, giving Safari a leg up in the new round of browser wars. This weekend, things got clearer, as Apple turned down a tool that could be seen as competing with iTunes. As I had expected, Apple is not going to let the iPhone's development program get in the way of their leading software applications. And you know what? While they could certainly do better to ...
Gears comes to Safari
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Internet, Internet ToolsEven though Google Chrome is still only available for Windows, its WebKit roots mean that Safari for Mac users might still get some extra perks. Gears, Google's web API that lets developers create applications that can run offline, is one of those perks. Previously, Gears was only available for Firefox on the Mac, and it certainly didn't feel like there was any priority in bringing Gears to Safari. Well, with Google's gung-ho dedication to all things WebKit, the Google Mac team has just released Gears ...

... into the browser wars with its own WebKit-based, open-source web browsing application called Chrome . As we wrote when it first lauched, the big innovation with Google's implementation of a web browser is that each tab is its own separate process, which, in theory, would prevent one tab from bringing the whole application down. The general consensus seemed to be that it's a nice start from the search juggernaut, and the project has lots of potential. Unfortunately for Mac users, the current beta is Windows-only with a Mac version "coming soon." If you are really champing at ...
The Economics of Mobile Development

It’s hard to imagine the web as a legitimate platform that creates a seamless experience across all mobile devices, but I think we’ll see browser functionality and capabilities expand significantly in the coming years as browsers like Chrome start to rethink how we use the browser and how the browser interacts with the OS. ...
SquirrelFish Extreme mops floor with V8, TraceMonkey

... the WebKit team introduced a completely redesigned JavaScript engine called SquirrelFish that uses a JIT bytecode interpreter. This approach netted a 50 percent speed boost when benchmarked using the SunSpider benchmark. Since then, Mozilla has announced a new JavaScript engine called TraceMonkey, expected to ship in Firefox 3.1 slated for release later this year and, by all accounts, introduces significant speed gains. Also, Google announced a new browser called Chrome , and though it uses WebKit rendering, it features its own V8 JavaScript engine. ...

Screaming fast Mozilla browser Minefield gives a glimpse of Firefox's future
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
... I was really disappointed when Google released their Chrome web browser for Windows only. When it comes to browsers, I've tried them all. Right now I regularly switch between Firefox and the latest nightly build from Webkit (essentially Safari). Firefox has the extensibility I rely on, while Webkit has the performance I crave. I had hoped that Chrome would magically combine those two crucial traits and become my new go-to browser. Unfortunately, Chrome is not yet nearly as extensible as Firefox, and isn't available for Mac (yet). ...

MacJournals.com: Inside Safari 3.2’s anti-phishing features
Macworld —
... , so it was no surprise when Firefox 2.0 included Google’s “Safe Browsing” technology directly in the browser. To no one’s surprise, Chrome includes it as well. We were surprised that Safari 3.2 includes the same technology, especially since Apple’s minuscule release notes did not mention the word “Google” once. But our investigation convinces us that Safari 3.2’s “protection from fraudulent phishing websites” is, in fact, Google’s Safe Browsing technology. How it works Even if Google has a list of malicious sites, your browser can’t check in with Google every time you visit a ...

Safari 4 Beta Released
TheAppleBlog —
... For better or worse, there are numerous changes to the interface style. Most obvious is the shift of the browser tabs to appear at the very top of the window, above the bookmarks and address bar. It doesn’t appear that there’s an option to change this setting, so it will likely require a little getting used to. The ‘New Tab’ button is located at the very top right of the window. This shift in thinking matches that of Google’s Chrome browser, and seems to continue a new standard in browser interface design. ...
Safari 4 Beta First Impressions
Cult of Mac —
... The new tab design is very clearly in homage to Google’s Chrome. You might like the design of the new tabs or you might not; personally, I’m neither enchanted nor bothered by them. It does seem odd, though, to see *yet another* bunch OS X window design elements appearing from nowhere; and a Safari 4 window with many tabs now looks odd with windows from other applications behind: ...
Google Chrome run natively (most of it, anyway)
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
... After much lamenting and a few attempts, Google Chrome can finally be run natively in OS X. Kind of. Don't get us wrong, it works: it starts up fast and runs one process per window, just like the Windows version. But there are a few glaring holes, the lack of plugins (and therefore Flash, which means no YouTube) being one of them. The History, Bookmarks Bar, and Preferences screens don't work either, which makes this not much more than a proof-of-concept still: it can run natively, but you wouldn't really want to. It's too bad Google ...

Since March, Internet Explorer Lost 11.4 Percent Share To Firefox, Safari, And Chrome
TechCrunch —
The new browser wars on on. More than a decade after Microsoft killed off Netscape with Internet Explorer, competition in the browser market has never been stronger. Just last week, Mozilla released Firefox 3.5, which has now been downloaded nearly 14 million times. Earlier in June, Apple released Safari 4. In March, Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer 8, and Google came out with a speedier beta of its Chrome browser.
Some early data is coming in showing relative market share and how fast people are upgrading. ...
