Google Chrome, the new Firefox?

Google have announced that they will be releasing a new completely open source web browser. It will be based upon the Webkit browser engine with the rest of the browser being written from scratch. It'll feature a multiple processes for everything, tabs, pages, javascript, all to maintain security, prevent lockups and memory leaks and to keep the browser responsive. There's a new javascript Virtual Machine called V8 which should be *fast*. For more information, see the comic. Also, more info here.
