chrome?

oh joy.

another open source browser. this one looks like a branch off webkit/khtml.

 

I'm not sure what the motivation behind creating another browser is for google, unless they are thinking they are paying to much $$ to firefox to be their main search provider.

 

I'm also interested in how toolbars will work in the chrome world. 

 

the 'incognito' model seems a bit different than microsoft's IE8 offering. If I am reading it correctly, In incognito it will still pass webbugs through, if you have them on your system already. this will allow things like analytics and google to keep track of what your doing and who you are. but it will stop your wife knowing you look at porn. (note to people: your wife already knows you surf the porn sites, get over it)

 

anyways.. I look forward to downloading it, and seeing how many google specific services they use. hopefully they'll let you change your prefs to use other search engines, and things like delicious.
