In typical Google fashion they have launched the new Google Chrome Browser without much fanfare. In a recent post, Google Chrome Goes After Microsoft we introduced the new browser to our readers.
In minutes it was indexed by Google, and hit Page #1 for our Key words. Then later that night as an experiment at a live meeting, I created a second post which I expected to be indexed in minutes. Problem is I used a very targeted Keyphrase, “Google Chrome Review” which I knew was going to be difficult to index. So needless to say, It did not pop up like I wanted it to.
This has really been bothering me today, so I decided to go ahead and do one more Blog Post to settle the score. Now I know this one will be up and indexed in a matter of minuted, and probably give me an Indented listing, and push me up the page.
Anyway, Google has released a ton of good information about the new Chrome Browser. I’m sure they are a little shook up over at the Microsoft camp.

Google Explains:”At Google, we spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And like all of you, in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends - all using a browser. People are spending an increasing amount of time online, and they’re doing things never imagined when the web first appeared about 15 years ago. Since we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if you started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that’s what we set out to build.
So today we’re releasing the beta version of a new open source browser: Google Chrome.
On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.
This is just the beginning - Google Chrome is far from done. We’ve released this beta for Windows to start the broader discussion and hear from you as quickly as possible. We’re hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too, and we’ll continue to make it even faster and more robust.
We owe a great debt to many open source projects, and we’re committed to continuing on their path. We’ve used components from Apple’s WebKit and Mozilla’s Firefox, among others - and in that spirit, we are making all of our code open source as well. We hope to collaborate with the entire community to help drive the web forward.
The web gets better with more options and innovation. Google Chrome is another option, and we hope it contributes to making the web even better.”
Well said. This sounds like more than just a product launch, but a mission from the Google team to enhance and improve the user experience on the Internet.
