Just when I thought Google had done it all, Google proved me wrong once again, this time by launching a web browser ! I was pretty excited to read the latest news – ‘Google Launches Open Source Web Browser – Google Chrome’. Finally Google enters the Browser Battlefield. Click to Download Google Chrome from www.google.com/chrome

There are already lot of browsers available apart from Internet Explorer. Some of them are Mozilla Firefox, Apple’s Safiri, Opera etc. So can Google really take over the ‘Internet Browser’ market as it took over the Internet search market with its search engine ?

Internet Explorer currently holds approx 70% of the market share while Firefox has approx 20%. Upon that Internet Explorer comes pre-installed with every Microsoft OS. Its gonna take time before Google Chrome can gain some momentum in this long race. Google has gone the Open-Source way. Google Chrome has very plain looks. No eye candy here .

Google says Chrome is faster, more secure and easier to use than any other Web browser, especially Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.
If there is any error or something has gone wrong with a plugin, Other browsers would immediately freeze up every open tab, but in Google’s browser each tab acts like it has its own engine.

Quote from a Google Employee
“If one Web app misbehaves or one Web app is consuming a lot of your computer’s resources, the rest of the apps can still act very responsively,” Rikowsky says.

Meanwhile, I ran a check on how people have searched on Google for their favourite browsers(The 4 major browsers), and the results were as follows :

Google Trends – internet explorer,safari,opera,firefox
