Google Chrome - Its About Time.

Google has finally launched a web browser - not that most web users think much about the browser they use. I think the web browser market is actually a very interesting space to for Google to play in and why not?

According to the Market Share - By net applications website, Microsoft Internet Explorer accounts for 72.15% of the browser market share. While I am a Firefox fan - they only account for the second largest chunk 19.73% of the web user population.

Now my only wish was that Google released the mac version first because now I have to wait until I get to work to try it out. You would think from the recent iPhone popularity in Sydney, that the WOM about Google Chrome would have spread faster via Apple users. Then again, I wonder if Chrome even works on the iPhone?

So curious about this new browser, I did a little research to prepare myself for the experience:



After watching this video, I thought wait a second...moving tabs is from Firefox, better book marking is from Del.icio.us.

Google Chrome was released only days after the Beta 2 version of Internet Explorer 8.0 become available and already people are discovering glitches.
