Google is releasing it’s own open source Chrome browser
GOOGLE will launch its new web browser dubbed Chrome early after it accidently sent out a ‘comic book’ style media release. Google Chrome is set to be the third contender in a new round of “browser wars”, competing with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and its rival Mozilla Firefox.
Last week, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8 beta 2, which includes improved security and new browsing aids. Earlier this summer, Mozilla released Firefox 3, which garnered 8 million downloads in 24 hours.
Chrome is touted to be faster, more stable and more secure than the alternatives and was designed specially for next-generation web content – such as video, web-based games, chat and internet banking.
The announcement comes one day after Google sent a press release about Chrome to journalists in Europe in the form of a comic book, which quickly spread online. The 38-page comic book attempted to explain the technical concepts behind the web browser in layman terms.
