Google Chrome
Today Google announced that their new web browser, ‘Chrome’ will be available for download tomorrow. The download location is available at this location. Surprisingly enough Mozilla says that they are not concerned, but when Google funds 90% of your company I guess you have to say that. What is left to be determined is how this will play into market share. Currently in the web analytics profiles that I administrate Internet Explorer is dominant, and Firefox only plays a minor role. For those of you who have more tech savvy sites obviously you’ll see Firefox higher. Here at Sonicko Firefox had a 57% share of browsers for the month of August, far higher than the normal 8-12% that most sites see. If anyone has any initial reviews of Chrome please feel free to post them.
A dawn of a new era? — There’s definitely not a soul who doesn’t know about the decade long microsoft and google rivalry. Both of these huge goliaths having been constanly pushing themselves to their limits to totally conquer the computer and internet industry. I think I’ll stick with firefox till Chrome moves in and out of beta.
Love Google Chrome. Why? Our site looks how it’s meant to (more or less). Whatever steps I take (even reset CSS) IE gets it wrong. IE beta 8 is even worse than IE7. Don’t know yet whether I like it better than Firefox,though!
i’ve been using Chrome for about a day now and it seems to be a lot faster than FireFox or IE… though i do miss the “previously closed tabs” feature in Firefox
Interesting post, keep the good stuff coming, good content appreciated!
