In a post on the Official Google Blog, Google has announced that they will be releasing their own web browser. The browser, called Google Chrome, is built on the WebKit rendering engine used in Apple’s Safari. The browser uses a V8, a JavaScript engine developed by Google, that Google says is designed to “power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers”. A beta version for Windows will be released shortly, with Mac and Linux versions in the works.
