GOOGLE CHROME AT 17 - A HISTORY OF OUR BROWSER

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Google Chrome launched on September 2, 2008, with a multi-process architecture that isolated tabs into separate processes for better stability, along with the V8 JavaScript engine that improved web app performance. Over its 17-year history, Chrome has continuously focused on four core principles: speed, security, stability, and simplicity. The browser evolved from a small skunkworks project by ex-Firefox engineers at Google into a platform used by billions. It pioneered technologies like SPDY (which became HTTP/2) and QUIC (which became HTTP/3).
