Google Chrome enters the battlefield

By Tomas Ohlum of ToJo Marketing Consulting

Is Google's browser Chrome A serious challenge to Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer?

Google’s web browser Chrome is built to be fast, trouble free and able to cope with the web applications of the future, graphics and multimedia. This is not just another browser, it is also a modern platform for web pages and applications. Download Chrome and see for yourself if it is faster, safer and easier than its competitors in the browser war. It´s easy to install and it is free. Some features that separates the new browser from the rest.

1. Separate processes for tabs
2. V8 JavaScript engine
3. Omnibox
4. Gears built in

Google Chrome enters the battlefield in the ongoing browser war.

The new browser could be Google’s latest assault on Microsoft’s dominance, so this might be bigger than just another web browser entering the stage. It was developed after a complete rethink about what a browser should be able to handle in these days, then the web is more complex and not only consists of simple text pages, but also rich interactive applications.

Google used components from WebKit and Mozilla’s Firefox to develop Chrome. A browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology and runs advanced web applications much better. The browser window is streamlined and simple. The feature with each tab operating as a separate process make it able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from malicious web sites. Each tab also has its own address bar, called Omnibox.

The open source software Google Chrome is far from done, according to themselves. They released the beta version for Windows to start the discussion and get constructive input. Their team is working on versions for Mac and Linux too, and will continue to make it even faster and more robust.

Firefox, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer 8 could have one very tuff nut to crack, if the Chrome browser lives up to the promises of fast Javascript handling, security, extensions etc.

It is still too early to tell if Chrome will stand out of the crowed as, the next generation of browsers for the next generation of web applications. Remember that many of its best features are already available in Firefox 3. At the end of the day it is you who decide which browser is the best, download Chrome and see if the Google browser gets you where you want to go.
