New Web Browser: Google Chrome

The most part of the population know about explorer, some have heard about Firefox and a little few know that safari could be something more than a tourist tour in africa to see how lions yawn. These three web browsers from microsoft, mozilla and apple have a new competitor: Google Chrome!
These guys from google can't stop. Bill Gates needs to start thinking something new otherwise, someday, his windows will not be enought to get positive results. Google is targeting all the possible manners to make money, and then, stole microsoft market, in the new internet technologies.
Chrome is presented as an easy browser, quick and simple. However it has been configured to support the challenges that new internet applications such as video present. A new function which seems to be revolutionary is the capacity that the browser has to isolate the opened webs, in order to avoid global collapses if one site is blocked.
Google's blog announces the launch of these chrome since today in 100 different countries. you can read an understandable comic which explains the main characteristics of Google Chrome.
Oh! And it is gonna be an open source program, so, all users are allowed to contribute to its development (and obviously it's free).
