[LinuxUsers] Code Reuse in Google Chrome

[Paul Saenz]

I am actually starting to favor google chrome. My first reaction towards google is usually negative, because I think they have too much control over internet traffic, and the fact that they are compiling so much personal info. Nevertheless, the fact that they made it open source is quite impressive to me. It means that FireFox or any other browser can incorporate their hard work. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that they took two years to get to release. The fact that they use the webkit rendering engine may mean that FireFox would either have to start from the ground up (not really the ground, but from where chrome left off), or they would have to re-engineer their existing code to encorporate chrome's browser philosophy. Irregardless, I think that google has really laid the foundation for a new era in web browser philosophy and technology.
