The Official Google Blog announced that they’re releasing Google Chrome to over 100 countries tomorrow. However Chrome will only run on Windows for a while. Linux and Mac users will have to miss out on it for a few months. Chrome is NOT ready yet, it’s still in beta, so keep that in mind.
I’m not expecting it to take over right away but I think it will eventually change the way we choose our browsers and surf the web.
Google has a pretty good idea on what type of effect they want their new browser to have on people:
Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser.
I’m waiting to see how this new browser matches up to Firefox 3. FF3 still beats every other browser I’ve ever used. I can’t see myself giving up FF3 unless something really good comes along. The thing that impresses me the most is that they use components from WebKit and Firefox. This means that there’s Safari and Firefox blood in it, to a certain extent.
Hopefully this browser reaches the eyes of enough IE6 and 7 users. If it kills IE it was all worth it!:D When it’s all said and done, we might just have a Internet Explorer Killer on our hands:)
What gets me most excited about this is what Google says about the project being open source:
…we are making all of our code open source as well. We hope to collaborate with the entire community to help drive the web forward. The web gets better with more options and innovation.
Yeah, I’m pretty exited to see where this is going!!! MORE POWER TO GOOGLE!!!!
