Google Chrome




This new browser (Google Chrome) from google with few good features which the traditional existing Single threaded browsers lack. One such is the use of API to make it perform faster, eliminating the browser wait time for the javascript to finish its work, which uses the multi - threaded architecture. It works on multi-process technology using different tab for each process. A multi -process means using a bit more moemory upfront. In traditional browsers even after a tab is closed teh memory alocated may not be released and it makes the bowser life long to complete a process , whereas in Google Chrome when a tab is closed , the whole process is ended and memory gets reclaimed. It uses WEBKIT - a open source rendering engine. WEBKIT is used to use memory efficiently and to easily adopt to embedded devices.
