In already fierce battle of Browsers, there seems to be a new competitor. Guess what? Its again Google creating a hostile environment with its technology.

Google has announced the Beta version of its browser, called the Chrome, which is all set to win over users from other browsers. This browser has a comic feel in it and is entirely different from any other browser used in the past. It uses Web kit engine just like Safari and has been developed right from scratch to work without any error.

Chrome comes with some amazing features when compared to the Browser giants like Mozilla Firefox, IE, Opera or Netscape. Though the differences appear to be very simple, they can have great effect on the way it is used.

First of all, every tab in chrome works as an independent browser and has nothing to do with any other tab within it. If say one tab crashes, only that is closed and all other tabs have no effect on them. This is a great feature for people who use multiple tabs.

Second advantage is the all new JavaScript engine which is much more faster than previous fastest browsers. Multithreading is another feature. There is also a built in task manager which shows which takes how much memory or CPU time.

We made an attempt to use this new chrome with other browsers and see if it worked better. We installed all the browsers without any plugins. We tested it on our notebook which has intel centrino duo core, 4 gb ram and works on vista.

First, we checked the launch time of each browser which is very crucial for users. The following was the outcome: IE – 1 second, Firefox – 2 Seconds, Opera – 3 Seconds and Chrome – 1 Second.

Then we checked the java script speed. With several tests already in place to check Javascript speeds, we tried one of them. Opera gave handled it in 600 milliseconds which was lowest amongst the three old browsers. on the other hand, Chrome completed it in just 350 milliseconds. That was damn too fast!

However, these results might vary in different cases. Chrome truly has an advanced JavaScript engine which can beat any other browser in competition.

We now checked the memory usage with 5 tabs. The results were: IE – 60 MB, Firefox – 64.4 MB, Opera – 52.2 MB and Chrome – 75.4 MB. On the face of it, it seems that chrome is using more memory.

However, we checked the results again after 11 minutes of usage. The results were: IE – 96 MB, Firefox – 109.8 MB, Opera – 96.6 MB and Chrome – 84.1 MB. Well, chrome again proved to be exceptional in memory usage.

These were some of the experimental tests carried out by us to check the chromes chances of surviving. It sure proved that Chrome is here to stay and can bring a revolution in the browser world. What more, Google is going to keep chrome as open-source, which means developers can come up with better versions of it going forward. The final and user version of chrome will soon be released. Only Time would tell its performance in the real world. Anyways, Kudos to Google!
