This would mean greater memory consumption, but on the far end better stability and so on. Next up an engineer is suggesting that it would be great if every browser page was isolated in a different process.
Neither would plugin developers such as Adobe, Sun and Microsoft that would have yet another environment to support for their Flash, Java and Media Player + Silverlight plugins.
On the other hand designers, that will have yet another browser to test their pages against, wouldn’t be delighted. Next up, a figure wonders if it would be great to have a new browser. Therefore it almost always is used to process the presentation of the application, while the actual processing is done at a web server. Javascript especially, while being quite capable, is still several orders of magnitude slower than code running in the OS. Web pages, are fundamentally still html (presentation markup) and javascript (behavioral logic). This is the first fallacy, and it’s being introduced early because it’s fundamental to the rhetoric that follows. So I’d like to count pages with you dear reader and comment on what I read. My greatest problem with the cartoon strip is that while it’s supposed to explain how Chrome works, it really explains how all major browsers work, implying that these features were invented for Chrome alone. I also feel that if they did, they wouldn’t want them anyway. I really feel that the explanations given in it do a disservice to the public, by making them want things that they don’t fully understand. In order to explain the product, Google has appointed Blogoscoped to create a cartoon story that explains the product. However in the following text I will demonstrate that Chrome puts strain on the Designer and Developer communities, is not innovative (save for one feature), and copies ideas liberally from Google’s worst enemy. As it seems, the announcement shot at the heads of people who’ve been holding their breath for the fabled Google Operating System. This is done by boosting the abilities of common web pages in terms of performance, while also allowing ‘plugins’ to enrich the user experience of certain other pages.
In short, the promise is a web experience where web pages are allowed to behave more like desktop applications. It appears that Google scored a PR success with their Chrome browser.
