Today on Google Blogoscoped there was this post: "Google Chrome, Google’s Browser Project".

Google is close to launch Google Chrome, Google’s open source browser project based on the existing rendering engine Webkit.
Within the 38 pages of a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud, Google gives the technical details of this project.
Apparently the launch of a beta version of Chrome will be this evening (UK time) but so far the article points to a broken link.

No more than 2 days ago Mozilla has extended its agreement with Google over the default search settings in Firefox by a further three years.

a bit bizarre.. we'll see...
