The underlying rendering engine only is WebKit. Everything else was written from scratch.

I have never liked the UI of chrome since its launch. It lost to Mozilla in terms of value-adding features such as extensive plugins.

At the rate they are going, they are losing the market share they've taken so much pains to build up.

IE will be dead meat soon. They just revealed that IE7 might be vulnerable for attacks.

How does Chrome identify it self in traffic statistics? I’m sure I visited my own site yesterday with Chrome, but it’s not showing in Analytics.

Google is going to launch Google Video Chat soon. Nowadays it's like they're involved in everything. They are leaving all tech companies way behind. This is bad for advancement as we might be creating a humongous monster.

Google takes aim squarely at Microsoft with the release of its new Web browser, Chrome. And Microsoft should be very afraid: Chrome lives up to its hype by rethinking the Web browser in clever and convenient ways that make using the Web a more organic experience than you'd get with either Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 or Mozilla's Firefox 3

You know the good old days when we used to say how Microsoft dominated the whole operating systems market and software applications. Google is slowly doing the same and people all over the world seem to be embracing them wholeheartedly which could be really scary.

I've installed Chrome and don't know why people are getting excited about it except the fact that they don't need to key in any url. I still find that Firefox is the best with so many individual add-ons and plugins. I don't see Chrome getting big even though when you log in to Youtube, Google or Gmail, they just keep pumping ads to get you to install it.

I've seen your post ~30 days ago and it actually inspired me to download chrome. Now, after a month of use I am completely addicted to it and I really have no regrets about leaving mozilla and IE behind. It'd be great if we can see more plugins for Chrome as it seems to be the only thing that is missing right now. Cheers, Jason

I completely disagree. While it will be another year (or so--whenever an extension interface is supported) until I'll completely convert from firefox to chrome. The core ideas inherent in Chrome in terms of making it a more stable, savvy browser crush some of the firefox model. Chrome's sandboxing and re-written javascript-object model make it way more stable than firefox. Perhaps this belief stems from some of the more annoying bugs I've recently discovered in FF3, but I think it runs deeper. Google is not just trying to compete in the web browser marketshare, but with Chrome and Google Gears they are trying to re-invent the idea of what an operating system looks like by allowing their browser to let developers run applications offline. Moreover with the computing cloud become a more dominant component in everyday surfing, having some sort of desktop file system is becoming an old idea, fast.

It's true that Google becoming a browser monopoly is bad, but we have to remember that google has always offered it's services for FREE to users. The entity makes its profit by ad-sales and by keeping its model free to users to, it keeps more eyes open to ads. Google is making the web more individualized for the surfer, but more open and standardized for the developer, which is exactly firefox's model, but Google is doing so at a much more sophisticated level, in my opinion.

My gut feeling is that Chrome and Firefox code will merge in the foreseeable future, why not take the best of both worlds? The web is already full of Chromizers for Firefox

John, one real edge over Google and others might be to look seriously at the transfer speed of sending files over the internet. A key would be the ability to send, say, a mp3 file over the net with some real speed from site to site. This is an area that is, for now, a third party province. What if Mozilla took on this task and conquered it?

Is it just me or is it kind of scary when you think about just how much Google wants to know about what you do on the internet. Think about it they know a lot about you.

If Google Chrome delivers on the standards it has so far, then Firefox might just see its end. Already Chrome has many Firefox users changing to it, so once it's fully developed it will take over. Ouch Mozilla!
