Google Chrome - Random Thoughts Part Deux
More random thoughts...
Fellow RDs Scott Howlett and Derek Hatchard pointed out this in the page where Google explains why they built a browser:
We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build.
Can't be clearer then that!
Also, being open source, this means that at some point, all the browsers based on WebKit/Mozilla will also incorporate the V8 engine.
