Finally, Google released its first browser, Google's Chrome and currently is in beta version now. Basiccaly, Google Chrome includes one of an Google gears applications, which based on webkit, a rendering engine that was previously used by the Apple Safari.
One of the interesting features of Google Chrome is a tab which has own manager proccess and memory which quite the same with the Task Manager feature in the Windows OS.
With the manager proccess on the tab, it enable us to see which tab has the most consumed memory, and another unique feature is if one of the tabs get hang or crash, the entire browser is not involved in crashes or hangs too.
Google Chrome kernel is come from Webkit engine, a HTML light rendering that was developed by Apple and part of the KDE open source project; a KHTML components. In addition, Webkit also adopted within the context of applications, including Adobe AIR Runtime, Troltech, Qt, the Nokia S60 web browser and also Google Android.
Although Chrome is made based on Webkit technology, Its developers decided not to use SquirrelFish, a high-runtime performance belongs to Apple, and they prefer to use V8, a unique virtual machine developed by a group of researchers from Denmark.
With this V8 engine, Chrome has proved as the fastest browser between its competitor like Firefox 3.0.1, IE7, IE8 beta 2, Safari 3.1.2 even Opera 9:52

I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
