Comic explains Google Chrome

We’re just back from August holidays, and have arrived back to find  a comic from Google explaining the why and how for their new open source browser called ‘Google Chrome’.

Nice idea.  The comic introduces the Google team working on the product, and then they talk their way through explaining what they are up to with the browser.  The team become characters in the story and get in and interact with the new features of the browser, at their scale, playing with it.  It is a long comic but the way it explains some quite technical concepts is very clear.  Worth a read. Much, much better than a boring FAQ or press release.

Chrome, they say, will be released tomorrow.  We’ll have a bit of a go and see what it means to the web.  I’m hoping for a bit of a revolution as I’m feeling that the browser metaphor is a bit stuck and is holding us back from making and using fully on-the-web applications.
