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. :)

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:

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

Google Chrome...[^] it seems Google is considering a browser. Best regards, Paul.
Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.
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 :)

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.

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.

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...

I think there are enough browsers already. Too much choice can be almost as bad as no choice.

We already have that with most recent innovations having been pioneered by Opera and then been made relatively mainstream by Firefox, followed by IE.

No. Choice is good but, as I said above in reply to Shog, not too much choice.

They will first have to command the browser market. With MS seriously fighting against the proposed ECMAScript 4.x, you know there is not going to be any improvements soon. Best regards, Paul.

I like what JavaScript does, I hate the way it does it; i.e., I hate the language. Too many weeks of JavaScript hell in my last contract.:mad:
