Google Chrome: Open Source Browser of the Future?

Image via Wikipedia

In Web 2.0 users interact often with web applications and demand more out of their browsers’ capacity to access sites, download pages and deliver the content as intended. Videos, music, games and other media are often difficult to load in multiple instances within one window. This trend is often referred to as “SaaS” or “Software as a Service” which Google recognizes as website content delivered as a web application.

It seems Google is not satisfied with how the Internet is being accessed and used today and wants to build it from scratch. And nowhere is the beginning more highlighted than the one existing on users’ desktops: the browser. It wants users to surf better, faster and safer… but isn’t this what Firefox is all about? So why would Google create a new browser then? What does Google wants to accomplish with Chrome?

From its online comic book on Chrome, Google explains its reasons for building this open source browser and its plans for its use. Google has also emphasized the benefits to the user as compared to when “traditional” browser technology is used.

For a technology noob like me, what really struck my desire to test Chrome was Google’s promise of multi-thread processes, which according to them will lessen memory leaks and prevent fragmentation even when tabs are closed. As an end user, this aspect of Internet browsers has long been a thorn in my side. Both Firefox and IE occupy too much memory space, and the more tabs opened the larger it becomes.

As what has been explained in the comic book, I have also encountered the ballooning memory usage problem even when I have closed other tabs, deleted the browser’s cache and browsing history, and deleted the temporary Internet files. The only avenue I often take to cope with this problem is to restart the browser.

With tomorrow’s awaited launching of Chrome, Google’s Open Source browser, I can finally enjoy surfing the web without heavy baggage. Like traveling, it’s best when you bring less with you.
