Google Chrome finally has seen the light of the day. Google is really on its way to domination with this Chrome browser. I got the all new browser installed within hours of its launch yesterday. I was going through the videos on youtube and it answers a lot of things about the Google Chrome browser, its development and features.

Today most friends in Orkut started to mail me if chrome will beat firefox and IE (not a competition ๐Ÿ˜‰ ), I was looking forward to see what this firefox killer has.

Some important questions include

Why is Google building the Chrome browser?

It seems that the browsers have not evolved as much as the internet has and google wants to help fuel browser features and improvements.

What different does Google Chrome have from other browsers?

Java Scripts are now faster on Google Chrome, which is something used in most sites online these days. Its light weight and every tab is a session in itself which is isolated from other tabs in the chrome browser. The interface was

What are the special features?

I noticed a “incognito window” which is something like a secure browser inside a browser which does not save any information about your browsing. I remember reading about this feature which was in one of the companies that google tookover recently.

What does Google Chrome mean for Firefox?

Now that google have a browser to play with on their own, why would they keep funding firefox about $57 billion a year to keep their top spot as the default search? I think it makes sense to sponsor a good browser as firefox and not go with another browser.

Google Chrome will be a headache for the designer in me as now I have to optimize my CSS for IE, Firefox and Chrome (if it clicks). But as far as Chrome vs. Firefox thing, I will not even compare these two without chrome getting some addons ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe with the launch they have beat IE8 already, but not firefox, Google Chrome is not there just yet ๐Ÿ˜‰ So what do you think? My friends have had chrome crashes, chrome rendering problems and everything else. What is your chromic story? Best comment entry wins a dream trip to hawaai ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. Chrome is far far away from being used as the primary browser by people.

    [I’ve already started packing my bags for Hawaii.
    When will my tickets arrive?? ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ ]

    Just joked. What I commented was sincere.

  2. I have written a blog entry about this: Why Google Chrome may not be the big revolution you think it is: http://www.diovo.com/2008/09/why-google-chrome-may-not-be-the-big-revolution-you-think-it-is/

    Go read it when you get time.

    Personally I think as of now IE8 and Firefox are better ans more stable than Chrome.

  3. @ Aravind, tickets coming straight up. I forgot to mention the terms and conditions ๐Ÿ˜‰ the contest is open to all the residents only from the remote island in the pacific ocean..also, did i tell you about the various messages you have to send from a airtel live sim and call variious numbers @ 6 rs. per minute ๐Ÿ™‚

    @ niyaz, I did read it, its a good summary about the chrome. I have seen comparisons between the chrome and another browser from mozilla (not firefox)

  4. Chrome hasnt impressed me much either to move from my favourite FF to Chrome!!! I wrote a post too about chrome http://www.crankup.net/chrome-mania

    They have even warned users in Germany not to use chrome,…

  5. lol….thats interesting shoban.

  6. I dont think that its anyhow better than Apple Safari as it develops on very same technology, but still as Google launches it. It will definetaly going to have good market impact on normal persons.

    Otherwise, According to me, Flock & Safari is Cool one to use

    Safari have the cool ability to correct your spelling & grammar & Flock has so many Social Networking things that you can’t resist. Even its cool in design.

  7. @ shoban Me too, My default if FF ๐Ÿ™‚
