Go Chrome!
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 | Gadgets, Web Development | No Comments
Google Chrome is the new open source web browser by Google. Another web browser you say?! Why?! Google Chrome is apparently trying to streamline how media is displayed in today’s browsers.
The Internet has evolved. Our means of viewing the content are still the same. Google Chrome changes this. I highly recommend EVERYONE to try Google’s browser. It is a statement more than anything. It should push Microsoft into developing a more standards compliant browser, Mozilla (whom Google still backs financially) to re-think handling processes, and much more. I really don’t think Google Chrome in itself will start a movement. We, the consumers, need to say enough is enough.
Is Google Chrome perfect? No. Is Google Chrome comparable to Firefox or Opera? No. Even with all of it’s currently lacking features is it still innovative, unique, a STEP in the right direction? That, would be yes.
Paul Reinheimer has the right idea in his post about “bringing browsers up to speed“. With my experience so far, Google has the closest answer.
Who knows, maybe we will see Chrome on Android.

As some of you may know, Google is in the middle of building a mobile operating system to be placed on phones in order to compete with Apples iPhone. This new OS is called Android. There are many skeptics out there, and I have to say I am joining the ranks.
