Google Enters the Browser Wars with Chrome
The folks over at NETTUTS have a good breakdown of Google’s new browser entry Chrome.
If you compare the browsers of 1996 to the browsers of today, you’ll find that, truthfully, they haven’t evolved that much. Sure, they’re more standards aware. But generally speaking, they’ve essentially remained unchanged over the last decade. Google is hoping to change that.

I downloaded it as soon as the beta went up… I hope they plan on doing more with it, because at the moment it’s a big thumbs down.
It imported all my firefox stuff brilliantly but it wouldn’t install the flash plugin despite several attempts.
I couldn’t grasp why they laid certain things out the way they have… it almost seems superfluous — and also — I can’t seem to find the place to organise my bookmarks (something I’m pretty anal about). In fact the settings section is fairly sparse… which would normally be a good thing, but I have come to love the many options usually available in a browser.
I had high hopes so I’ll wait until it moves up a notch or two out of beta before judgement.
I downloaded it, but I’ve been too busy editing to play with it, but Lila’s comments have made me want to wait and see if they fix the stuff
Little update: For some reason it let me install flash today, but the bookmarks thing is still bugging me. Other than that I’m actually warming to it a little… we shall see!
