The browser wars may just become a little bit more interesting. Apart from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari, another player is ready to join the field in what will most probably be released as a beta - you know, company policy - for the upcoming 23 years: Chrome. It's a webkit-based browser from Google. Update: It's out there, folks.

I have high expectations with the new JS engine. So far, JS engines have left to be desired even among the best browsers. Sites like Digg where Ajax is heavily used, are slow.
Yeah, too bad. I wish this application used the default native OS theme. Same for GTalk...
Also, I hope Chrome supports data synchronization so that I can keep in sync my passwords, bookmarks across computers. A feature like a wand to submit forms automatically would be highly welcome also. And a custom contextual menu to fill in forms with custom data like in Opera (but not automatically like Roboform).
With Google using WebKit code, I guess this engine is going to be greatly revamped and both Safari and Konqueror will benefit from this interest. Web sites should render nicely down the road, both because Google will improve it and also because web devs will test their web sites more in WebKit.
