If Microsoft is Borg, that would make google more of Body Snatcher[^] they remake everything.... :) I'll give it shot if they finish it. So far they actually do have a few quality things, minus some spying on activities.... Work I know I can't, all google products are forbidden at work due to spyware restrictions. Not sure the world is ready for Yet Another Browser.... I'll stick to firefox until this is reviewed after release. :)

According to Google's blog[^], the beta will be out tomorrow. Just like you, I'll stick will Firefox for a while yet.
Yeah, that is stated in the Wikipedia too...[^], already? :^) Best regards, Paul.

About time someone else made a browser... this whole IE-Opera-FF triangle***** was getting lame. *yeah, i know, Safari technically exists... but that's just Mac lust.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Shucks, Richard - don't go making lemons out of lemonade! :-\ We've lived for decades in a world where software is expected to run on hardware from numerous manufacturers, in myriad environments and countless configurations. There are problems, yes, but for the most part it works and we're all better off for it. Why? Because everyone has a vested interest in staying more-or-less compatible with everyone else while moving the state of the industry foreward. No one is releasing Media Center PCs with built-in EGA video. ;) The browser market has been dominated by one fiefdom after another, each acting without regard for anyone else. A PCjr with a grafted-on NVIDIA card competing against an Apple IIe with a terrabyte RAID setup. Madness! Google's browser may never take off, but i'm willing to bet we'll see any innovative features rolled into mainstream browsers anyway. Competition ain't bad...

Well I'm sorry Shog9 but I think we will have to agree to disagree. CSS for example - what works on Firefox doesn't necessarily work on MSIE, and vice versa, without some degree of tinkering bordering on frustration. Anyhow, time will tell how good/bad/indifferent Google's offering will be.

They are using the Apple WebKit rendering engine though it seems, so if it works for Safari now it will probably work for Google Chrome fine. http://webkit.org/[^] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit[^]

With Google Chrome's use of WebKit, looks like it will not be long before you see Google Android making an appearance on some mobile phones.
I am not sure it will ever get to Japan :~ - the mobile phone market here is just closed to foreign goods. If they are targeting the emerging markets and Africa, then they will be better of. Vodafone's activities here was expected to bring some changes, but they have since left the market selling *all* assets to Softbank (owner of Yahoo/Japan). Best regards, Paul.

I am waiting for it to stabilize before I switch from Firefox. Interestingly Google OS is Google chrome. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com

I wonder if Chrome will allow us to select the search provider (like IE was forced to do by uhhh Google & Yahoo) or will it restrict us to only use Google :confused:

That's the first sane thing I've heard about this Google browser - at least they're reusing a decent open-source rendering engine...

Wouldn't it just be better to eliminate all but one browser and have it open source and be done with it? I mean, we have two top browsers and neither can seem to get even the web standards implememented properly after all these years. Is the standards maybe the real problem here? Of course, now I guess we would not need a Google Toolbar :)

Given that Safari's got more users that Opera (almost 10x more according to one source[^] I found) and Webkit is being used in more applications (including Google Chrome, from what I can tell), I think it's Opera that's the marginalised browser out of the two. And hell, yeah, I use Safari (although I'd be using Firefox if my Mac was a bit newer - FF just starts too slowly on a 1.4GHz G4 compared with Safari)

Here's a link to the detailed comic book (by Google) on Google Chrome: http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/#[^] Can't remember that I've ever seen a new software introduction accompanied/explained by a *comic book*. Anyone? Regards, Peter.

It would be nice if we could get rid of the dreaded JavaScript though.
