Google describes their new Google Chrome browser using a comic book format.

Google is releasing their browser soon as an open source application and will make it freely available for download. They have basically combined many of the features from other browsers into a single browser. They have taken many of the revolutionary tab features from Opera and combined them with better process/memory management. Google Chrome will manage its own memory and processes… much like an OS. A Javascript virtual machine will increase the speed and performance of Javascript. In addition, and I believe this is the key, they have integrated Google Gears into the browser. They are obviously not as interested in “web browsing” as much as they are interested in building an application platform. Gears enables their online solutions, such as Google Docs, to become offline solutions as well.
