Google releases open source browser

by Jay Cross on September 1, 2008

Hear that? It’s the web world being turned upside down. The online learner’s favorite tool of all time, Firefox, will never look the same. Google just brought out an open source browser. Actually, it will be out in twelve minutes.

Google Chrome leverages Google’s knowledge of page popularity, mal sights, pfishers, and so on, but the new browser sounds like it breaks new ground in flexibility, speed, and robustness. Not that I know from experience. Google enlisted the wonderful Scott McCloud to pen a elaborate cartoon that digs into the details. Don’t look at the cartoon unless you’ve got 30 minutes devote to soaking in McCloud’s amazing visual display; it conveys some very technical material in a most captivating way.

Notice to Personal Learning Portfolio theorists: Chrome may be your ticket.

I’ve got to go get my copy. See ya.
