Google Chrome – making the web better
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Google launched "Chrome" – their new web browser today. This is pretty exciting for web developers, as the speed of chrome is way faster than any other browser. Here is the speed report according to cnet.
There is a really cool story behind chrome that google has here . Its in comic book form which I think is great because they break down some of the technology into graphics that are easier for non-web junckies to understand. Its even better that the whole initiative is open source. Any other browser can use some of the real innovations that google has come up with. Why? As google put it, "We live on the internet". Their economic engine is tied to people using the web. The better their web experience the more they will use the web. Better browsers = better internet. It makes great sense for them, more than trying to create another source of revenue from yet another web browser.
There isn’t a mac version yet, so I had to borrow my sons Vista laptop to see it in action. (I know, I can’t beleive he bought a windows machine either.) So far, its really awsome. If you run Vista, go download it here .
