Google to Release Web Browser
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.
