Google will launch a web browser today called Google Chrome. It's a beta, but its development is potentially significant for traders who make heavy use of their browsers by running streaming data systems to their data providers and brokers. There's some coverage in the British press today but they've missed the point. Existing browsers take up one process on a PC, which basically means that everything you're running is competing for the same resource. It also means that if one web page or web application causes a crash, you lose everything and the browser shuts down. Google Chrome will use separate processes for each tab - so a crash in one tab will not affect the others. It's like an operating system within an operating system. It should make web applications faster and could turn into a bit of a game-changer as far as browsing is concerned. I expect it may be rough to start with - but it's worth keeping an eye on:
