Browser War will Not Get Hot with Google Chrome!

Google Chrome Beta

Google has come out with a browser also known as Google Chrome beta. Its appearance gives a look of a very simple browser (much simpler compared to IE 5 or Firefox Ver 1.0). By default the address bar is also having Google Search feature, or you can type direct web address on it. It also shows full history of the sites you have last visited on your home page..While I was browsing through Google Chrome, I came across some sites having Java, there it mentioned no plugin found. Should I say, it has no Java support?

On privacy issue, Google Chrome cannot give any assurances. I believe, whether you allow or not allow, google chrome will send information to google by default, maybe indirectly.

Some websites might experience orientation issues. Not many features, but it is good for a rookie, who just want to surf internet. Security issues will come up once people start testing on their computers. I felt that there is some problem in accessing Silverlight based webplayers on my website, though the music is audible but the support is highly limited. Some Silverlight based websites may not work at all. It needs to be further checked. I was unable to find out RSS logo, while accessing RSS feed sites. Flash based sites work.

There can be plugins for incorporating Google talk, Gmail and YouTube.

Google Browser

Not my kind of Browser, but as I said…

It is good for people who just want to surf internet or people have memory issues on their computers. This browser will work like kayak, for slow computers..Since it is a browser with minimum features, it gives a large view while accessing a website (inside window view of a webpage). Some new features like independent processes for tabs, compiled javascript, and the incognito mode have been introduced, it will further get checked when people start using it practically.

Being in beta form, Google will slowly take care of all the bugs, and reach to a much refined browser which is not a memory hog like firefox.

I believe the real browser war is between Microsoft IE, Firefox, and Apple Safari.

All the views are my personal views, depending on my observations.

Added – “Statcounter” says Google’s Chrome has taken 1.2% of worldwide browser market share in just one single day !! Incredible. People shifted to Chrome from Internet Explorer and Firefox both, though Google’s strategy was to take on IE, but it is the Firefox which will be a bigger loser.
