The Future of Browsing in Chrome

2 09 2008

Google announced the public trial of Chrome, a new web browser that lets users run many applications that once worked only when installed on local PCs, executives said on Tuesday. The software is designed to handle text, graphics and more complex computer programs.

Should be interesting in the next few months to see how well received the browser is and whether or not people feel comfortable with the switch and the change in behaviour.

Doesn’t look like anything is being released for Mac yet (boo), but hopefully that will come soon. The interface actually sort of reminds me of the OSX Spaces app that lets you toggle back and forth between work spaces, obviously much simpler than Chrome, but similar in style.
