A browser is that, just a browser. Nothing special. Right? Ever thought about how much time you actually spent working 'inside' your browser? We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And like most of you, in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends - all using a browser. Hell, you spent probably more time inside your browser than inside your car ! Since Google engineers spend so much time online, they began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if you started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. They realized that what was needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications: and that is what Google has set out to build. The result: Google Chrome. On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go. Under the hood, Google engineers were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. And we keep on adding stunning features to Google Chrome. Want to have a peek under the hood? Google invites you to a Tech Talk by Chrome product manager Anders Sandholm; and you'll understand why a browser is so much more than a window on the Internet. Spend your lunchtime with us and you will be better informed when in a couple of weeks, you'll be asked to make a choice about which browser you want to spend your time in.

While this event is primarily aimed at policy makers from EU institutions, we'll be happy to welcome a wider audience if we have enough chairs.When : Thursday February 25, 12:15 - 13:45 hours CET (Sandwich lunch provided).Where : Google Brussels - Chaussée D'Etterbeek 180 - Steenweg op Etterbeek 180, 2nd floor, 1040 BrusselsAbout our Tech Talks: Ever wondered how exactly Google is tackling the big technology problems that the online world faces ? Want to take a look behind the curtain of our engineering operations and learn from the people who actually work on the Google products and services day-in, day-out?
