Google Chrome, the new open-source fast web browser is out there to download. This was not quite expected but geeks always had an idea that at a stage, google would do this. Google chrome has overall got huge positive response from all people mainly because of its speed.
The open-source browser is 23% faster than firefox. Much simpler look without anything stuffed unnecessarily. You can drag the functions you need. The speed is something you will appreciate and that’s what google’s team work day and night on. Google is better known for its simplicity and productivity and thats what you would see in chrome. Its Fast, neat and simple and productive. Initially its only available for Windows and some online scripts may not work on it but that i suppose would soon be resolved with consequent beta releases. I suppose if google had announced this project earlier, it would have created a lot of buzz for sure.
This amazing browser has created insecurity feeling to Firefox and especially IE. Is there some strategy of google behind google chrome ? I smell something fishy. What i suppose google plans is increase its browser share in web market making it one of the largest used browsers in the world. And just think how much would google benefit by this. It will save a chunk of money it pays to Firefox. Plus control people’s act online. Its terrific advantage for google. Days not far when google would clearly dominate the world. Rumors are that it would overtake Firefox market share soon in 3-4 years. Currently it has 6 % market share.
Problems regarding EULA (End user license agreement) was created. But that’s not our concern. That was sorted out. Some minor security vulnerabilities have been there and some apps not being supported by it. But i am sure google will soon sort that out.

A few crashes have been reported but NETsolutions test shows that this software is error free and 100 % functional with no flaws. Chrome is written on VB and JavaScript mainly. This also maximizes gmail speed. Functions like gmail shortcut are also present. SO google actually is hitting 2 birds at one shot. First, gain market share and control in browser industry like FireFox and give more to people using its services via its browsers interference. Open source will surely be the back end of most successful softwares of web in next 5 years. Google Chrome is available for official download in 100 countries. [...]
