Yes Google has a new browser. Yes it is as fast as Firefox, as well as yes IE 8 is coming out soon as well as is also looking pretty enticing.
But the real thing here that is interesting isn’t the functionality that has been released on behalf of Google as well as IE 8’s browsers yet. The real interesting things are what shall happen next.
Microsoft has been at this on behalf of a long time, as well as they have gotten very smart about it. The newer products like SharePoint 2007 as well as numerous of their online services work best with IE. That is: They have features that ONLY work in IE. This forces numerous users (especially in business) to utilize IE in order to get the full power out of their everyday applications.
Google’s new browser isn’t really about the features it has, it’s about the fact that now there's nothing stopping google from releasing features on google’s search engine, youtube, google ‘office’, as well as other google owned sites/applications that we utilize everyday that ONLY Google Chrome works with. Let’s face it if Google did manufacture a transfer like this, then you would see a real upset in the browser wars. Because this means that Google now has some of the an estimated all popular as well as widely used internet resources (youtube as well as google search) advocating google chrome.
Microsoft has been keeping their work in this regard (works best in IE) limited to the business world on behalf of the an estimated all part. Google would be dropping that kind of concept right into the public domain.
To me, that is far more interesting than anything else about Google’s new browser,
