The killer feature of Google’s new Chrome web browser – combined search and address bar – will conquer IE. -

Chrome, Google's new open source browser was launched yesterday. A press release issued by Google differentiated the browser from others:
"A combined search and address bar quickly takes users where they want to go, often in just a few keystrokes.
-- When users open a new tab in Google Chrome, they'll see a page that includes snapshots of their most-visited sites, recent searches and bookmarks, making it even easier to navigate the web.
-- Each browser tab operates as a separate process; by isolating tabs, should one tab crash or misbehave, others remain stable and responsive, and users can continue working without having to restart Google Chrome.
-- Google also built a new JavaScript engine, V8,which not only speeds up today's web applications, but enables a whole new class of web applications that couldn't exist on today's browsers."
