Add as a preferred source on Google

Google is launching a new web browser- google, an open source browser based on Webkit and powered by Google Gears. The Webkit engine is also used by Apple's Safari and Nokia among others, to render web pages. JavaScript execution is handled by V8, yet another new high performance JavaScript engine in the mold of TraceMonkey and SquirrelFish, with dynamic code generation and optimisation and a precise memory management for fast garbage collection. Chrome has also incorporated Google's Gears as standard, giving web applications in Chrome access to database, geolocation and desktop integration.

One of its features highlight an "incognito" mode that lets you browse the web in complete privacy because it doesn't record any of your activity. Google has stated that Chrome will be an open source application, with the terms described indicating a BSD or Apache permissive licence. A beta version for Windows will be released on September 2nd with Mac and Linux versions being developed. Check for google download and other regular updates of the browser on Google's official blog
