Google let slip they are about to release a new web browser. Based on on
Webkit, as opposed to the Gecko engine that powers Firefox/Mozilla, and with
a bunch of architectural departures from the way IE/FF/Opera/Safari do
things, it looks interesting.
Obviously, it has implications for privacy and monopoly control issues, but
I went to look skeptical, and came away positive after reading their promo
comic.
Proof will be in the pudding, of course.
