What does Google Chrome mean to web developers?

From a web developer point of view, what changes are expected in the development arena when Google Chrome is released?

Are the developments powerful enough to make another revolution in the web? Will the way we see web programming change?

Or is it just another web browser?

As always, it depends on their implementation. If they decide to mess with the rendering engine, we could be looking at a whole new list of browser "quirks" which will mean WebDev's will be uber-pissed.

If they stay standards-compliant (which TBH, I expect they will) it could be a really good thing to heat up the competition.

Be interesting to see how the sandbox mode affects plugin compat, and of course, the tight Gears integration..

That fact that its OSS is a really good thing.. Since any of the above issues could easily be fixed with a patch as soon as the dev community get on to it. :)
