Google has now seen its Beta version of Google Chrome launched to over 100 countries. Google Chrome is a new web browser which aims to compete with the likes of Internet Explorer.
Chrome was designed to be stable, fast and clear and present a real challenge to Microsoft. Google explained how they didn’t just want a browser but wanted a modern platform for applications and webpages.
Google Chrome is based on several open source projects including components of Apples web kit and Mozillas Firefox.
Chrome is far from being fully complete but they wanted to release a Beta version to get the opinion of the open source community.
A lot of critics have suggested that it won’t compete with the likes of Firefox or IE8 just yet, but in time Google could become a major factor in the web browser platform.

I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
After testing Chrome across a range of situations I have indeed found it wanting. Although the speed and simplicity were of great benefit I found it lacked support for various scripts in particular .NET components which just crashed the browser. More development needed!
