Google to Release Web Browser

without comments

Google announced it intends to release its own open source web browser called Chrome on Tuesday (Sept. 2).  The announcement came after Google accidently posted a comic book detailing the plans.  You can view the comic book on Google Books.  I wonder how the name came about since Google has been a big supporter of Firefox and Firefox already uses a technology called Chrome?

Theres a link in the comic book to – www.google.com/chrome – that doesn’t appear to work right now but I assume it will on Tuesday.  Looks like the website might actually be – gears.google.com/chrome – although I don’t think it will be available until after a 2PM Eastern webcast from Google.

In searching for a place to download Chrome I stumbled on a post at zwadia.com – Assessing Google Chrome – that I found interesting.
