    Default Google "Chrome" Enters Browser Wars

    Under Apple's WebKIT, google dev's are working up a new entrant with some pretty good (IMO) ideas.

    HERE is a comic-book-style briefing about it, and an Apple Insider article discussing some features.

    Sounds promising.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Google finally went live with an announcement. Here's another run-down of the technology.

    Eh? They haven't already got enough grasp of the internet?

    Interesting. Chrome looks to me like one step closer to the merger between the OS and the browser, i.e. the 'seamless web' experience or whatever term is trendy these days. Yes, it's still on it's own, discrete, but the method of operation and the availability of fast, free web apps makes the OS level less and less important.

    I'm not sure that's what I want for my PC, but anyway...

    Many of the improvements it claims are of the same type that OS's went through 10-15 years ago. We'll see how it works. I'll be giving it a run on this old box even though I usually avoid beta software like a plague.

    I'm reading the comic now. It certainly sounds great.

    What's going to happen to the legion of FF fans? Will this cause a kind of "civil war" between those who choose to stay with Google backed FF or Google created Chrome.

    How long will it be till someone makes a smiley of the happy face pushing the FF logo aside and embracing the Chrome logo.

    Chrome is... interesting.

    Can't see any speed difference from Firefox, looks pretty but clashes with my XP theme, and it messed up my bookmarks.

    Other than that, looks good.
