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.

Apple like?
Definitely - webkit as an engine for example.
Strikes me as strange since Nokia is working on porting firefox to QT because they don't want an engine at least partially controlled by Apple.
Other strange thing is that nobody besides me seems to be kind of worried that google is getting way too much influence if that move works out.
With Android,chrome and their various other webapps tied together and the whole enchilada being financed by advertising things are starting to look like something to get concerned about.

Do you think there's something very Apple-like about the way they're trumpeting moving the tabs to the top as a new way of using a browser?
I'm not saying it won't work better, it's just interesting that they seem to be studying Apple's marketing techniques closely.
