As predicted and often blogged about over the last few years, Google officially announced it is ready to take on the browser market. For years, it’s been Internet Explorer or (IE) and Mozilla Firefox or (FF) as the main 2 contenders and to be honest, the latest version of FF has been a disappointment for me. Firefox 3 has crashed on more than one occasion and this could be attributed to plug-ins but, the error windows do not give an indication, it simply asks me if I want to report the error.

This promises to change tomorrow when Google releases its Google Chrome browser to over 100 countries. They have posted a “Google Chrome Comic” which tries to “dumb-down” the thinking and technology aspects of this new, application centric web browser which was home-cooked in the Google Labs kitchen. What I take from reading the comic is that all of the horse power was centralized around Google Gears and Google Apps; which makes sense because, the more you use Google’s products the more likely you are to click on their ads. Win/Win for Google.

After I have a chance to actually use the browser, I will post what I think about it. Google Chrome BETA Launch is scheduled for tomorrow.

Here is the Official Blog Post
