Google Chrome - a Maverick internet browser?

Tomorrow is supposed to be an historic day for the Blogger community of the Philippines, that’s because a Wordcamp is taking place in Manila for the first time. It’s too bad I’m booked to fly to Manila on the 18th instead which concludes how impractical it is for me to decide to fly in earlier for Wordcamp, come back to Davao then back again to Manila on 18. When I accidentally called Ria this morning (mistaking her for my friend Ria Lumapas), I got to ask her where she was and she replied matter-of-factly, “I’m in Manila.” Hearing those words, I suddenly felt a crushing sense of panghihinayang. The closest English equivalent of which would be…regret.
Oh well, life moves on. Hopefully when I move to the States I’ll catch the Wordcamp in San Francisco, booya!
Meanwhile, a blogger who’s not in the field is obviously mulling about the internet. Just now I downloaded the beta version of Google’s new browser Google Chrome and for a Beta version it has so far impressed me with its speed. It’s phenomenally faster than Mozilla 3.0 and is apparently more efficient than Safari. Apart from the exciting fact that Chrome is Open source, it introduces a very unique way of managing javascript by incorporating multiple process in one browser. Now the brainiacs from Google can best explain what that means not me, definitely, no. Luckily, they came up with a very friendly way of helping us understand…through a comic strip!
