Google To Launch Its Own Web Browser - Chrome

Posted by Paul B | September 2, 2008 .

Wow, didn’t see that coming! In a move that seems to go against it’s complete and utter support of the Firefox browser platform Google will imminently (in the next day or two) release it’s own internet browser called Chrome. Whilst it’s not clear yet what sort of feature set will be available a few things have been confirmed, tabbed browsing (tabs above the address bar) and a new API for third party developers for a start. Expect it to also be very fast!

Creating an internet browser for the world’s biggest internet search provider is quite an obvious step really when you think about it. As a webmaster I can’t wait to have a go and see what they’ve bolted on, surely there has got to be some built in Analytics/Webmaster tools functionality available? Either way we’ll know for sure in the next couple of days.

I cant’ wait. Will somebody please send us a download link already. I’ve been reading articles everywhere about this. I’m sure that google will pull it off as it has many ventures it has taken on. This might be the browser with all the right tricks up its sleeves for optimized surfing and standards compliance.

2pm eastern time is when you can expect it all to kick off. I hate to think how many downloads there are going to be in the first hour!
