It's here

Tuesday night, Google introduced its web browser, the Chrome for Windows operating system. Critics say Google's goal with this new product is to put out a better, faster, more secure alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The most noticable feature is the single box at the top of the page used for "all your browsing needs". The browser displays websites you have visited in the past, popular web pages and search terms, and allows you to search many popular websites as you type. If the whole browser freezes or crashes, it doesn't affect your computer at all, and if a single tab freezes the rest of the browser runs fine. This is nice when you are using an older or slower machine. Google's open source format allows anyone to make changes to the the browsers java-script. It is also specifically geared toward running web applications made by Google and other software companies. The program is currently only available for Windows, but a Mac version of the software will be available shortly.
I've been using the browser ever since its introduction and so far it has left a good impression. People who love to Google things instead of just entering the URL will be very happy that they do not have to actually have to go to the Google page to search something. The browser is a tad faster than Firefox and Safari, and considerably faster than Internet Explorer. As for wiping out Internet Explorer, I think that the majority of Firefox users will make the switch, but Internet Explorer users may need some coaxing. These types of computer users usually like to stick to what they know and are very scared of third party and open source programs. I would definitely recomend Chrome as an alternative to any browser, especially Internet Explorer. Take my word for it. You'll love it.
