“In a sense, Chrome is not a browser, it’s an anti-browser. It’s mission is to destroy the concept of the browser, and become a frame for other applications – or, more pointedly, a kind of “chrome” window. In other words, Chrome is the long-awaited Google OS, a way of running Web-based applications like Gmail, Google Docs and the rest (the inclusion of Google Gears, which allows such apps to be used offline, is big clue here). That Chrome’s default function is as a browser is almost a historical accident. ”
