A new web browser – from Google

Gareth — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:05:27 +0000

Google have released a web browser, Google Chrome it uses the Webkit rendering engine (same as Safari) so there shouldn’t be much more work for web developers compatibility wise, which is good.
Although personally I’m not sure about this browser, it doesn’t have anything really ’special’ and is missing some things like page zooming, it might be good to integrate it with Google’s other services as well.

It is in beta at the moment so lets hope it can get better, more info at the Googleblog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html
