Recently, a new browser war has erupted all over the internet, with various browsers making massive improvements in each release to trumpet those made by others. While Firefox certainly ignited this new browser war, Chrome is the one who started the JavaScript war. The first release of Google's web browser came with a brand new JavaScript engine that was a lot faster than those of its competitors, forcing them to improve their JavaScript performance as well. This whole JS thing has gotten to the heads of the folks at Google, and they've created a site for experiments which show off the power of JS.

Agreed - Chrome is nice, but it certainly didn't play any part in starting a new browser war - Gecko, WebKit, and Opera were already going at it enthusiastically long before Google jumped in. Google is just the most recent entrant in a competition that's been going on for a few years now... a competition I think largely inspired by the Acid2 and Acid3 tests...
