Google is building an experimental new browser and a new kind of web app
TL;DR
Google's Chrome team has created an experimental browser called Disco, which uses a feature called GenTabs to generate custom web apps based on user prompts, such as travel planners or study tools. It's being tested in Search Labs to explore its potential role in the future of the web.
