chrome comic

The google chrome comic (38 pp) is pretty interesting, from various perspectives, mainly adapting the browser to the new world of web applications, moving on from a static web page paradigm

• improved browser stability through multiple processes
• faster through better memory control
• more sophisticated use of JavaScript (virtual machine, better garbage collection)
• better security from malware and phishing using sandboxing
• clean, efficient UI (streamlined search features)
• open source

The comic explores these issues in considerable detail

In a matter of days I've gone from using one browser (Firefox) to four (Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari)

Firefox - best for Add-ons
Chrome - best promotion
Opera - best for SVG and probably CSS
Safari - best for The Lively Kernel
