It seems so due to:

  • Sandboxing - Vista and OSX use this in their operating systems but this one has it at tab level. So if bad code is running in a tab it is confined to the tab and will not be able to do anything outside the tab (like access your data)
  • List of malware and dodgy sites - Which will be used as a warning, like MS and Firefox has but hopefully better
  • Some other stuff they mentioned

Sandboxing and separate processes for each tab? And better JavaScript handling for faster web-apps. some others I have forgotten but this seems a completely different browser, built with internet applications in mind. Like a browser is an OS

Well, Having used it due to my techie skills google just had to consult i can vouch for it's coolness. I'll let you know what's great about it when it's released since I am under a NDA
