In its never-ending quest to deliver technical innovation, renewed behaviors and refreshed revenue streams, today Google launched a Beta version of their new “open source” Internet browser.

The browser is called Google Chrome. Promises are faster browsing, integration with the open source community Google Gears and a Javascript VM. The browser will also change the way users browse content–with a revised tab structure and a ready-at-hand gallery of your most visited sites as you launch the browser.

On the heels of the launch of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, also in Beta format and available for public download, Google Chrome is following suit with special new privacy features; principally an “incognito” session/window which enables users to browse without passing browsing data to a computer.

This certainly creates a lot of dialogue about the future of browsers
