Google Chrome - A New Plattform for Browser Applications

Wow, Google is introducing its own browser:

Google Chrome

I have read the comic Google provided as explanation, and am impressed.

I worked on large browser applications which consisted of many ten thousand lines of JavaScript code. And my conclusions were similar:

• Present JavaScript interpreters were not made for huge JavaScript apps, running over several days
• The implicit threading via timer call backs reminded of cooperative multi tasking, not of OS threads
• JavaScript should use Just in Time compilation

The Google Chrome browser addresses these topics and more.

Only drawbacka I see ao far are:

• Windows only
• what impact will it have on Firefox development and on the JavaScript widget toolkits like dojo?
