Google Chrome, Google’s Browser Project
by blogoscoped.com
Today there was a comic book in my mail, sent by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classic Understanding Comics. Within the 38 pages, which I’ve scanned and put up, in very readable format Google gives the technical details into a project of theirs: an open source browser called Google Chrome...

Google Chrome is finally here. This kinda reminds me the old days where you’d have to pick who’s side you were on – Netscape or Explorer… At least now the rendering issues are obsolete, and the browsers are competing for functionality and ease of use, both of which are celebrated in this new browser...
Google to Offer its Own Browser: Chrome
by readwriteweb.com
Google watchdog Phillipp Lessen has scanned and posted a printed comic he says he received in the mail from Google today describing the company's forthcoming open source browser Chrome. The link to Chrome is currently a 404. Lessen's slide show is loading very, very slow. We've got another copy of it that loads much faster here. Long rumored to be in the works, this appears to be the first formal acknowledgment that Google really is working on its own browser - and it looks very cool...

Update: we'll be posting a recording of our live unboxing of Google Chrome as soon as it's ready, hopefully in minutes. Google is releasing Chrome, its new open source app browser today, with "Another One Bites the Dust" playing while we waited on the press call. Can Chrome kill IE? Will it kill Firefox?

Google Chrome - The Comic
by computerarts.co.uk
It's unlikely you're going to get to the end of the day without hearing about Chrome, Google's straight-out-of-nowhere web browser that looks to me like it's made of awesome. What you're less likely to hear about is the 38-page comic they've produced with Scott McCloud, which explains the thinking behind Chrome and the work that's gone into it. It's deeply geeky in a lot of places, but altogether a lovely piece of work that's got me a lot more excited about a new browser than I'd probably otherwise be...
Thoughts on Chrome

You've probably heard the buzz - Google is releasing it's own web browser. It's called Chrome, and if you haven't seen it already, you can read their introduction comic here. It's definitely worth a read as it illustrates beautifully the different problems Google identified in today's web browsers, and what their proposed solutions are...
Your new favorite browser
by iso50.com
My friend turned me on to Google’s entry into the browser market today and I have to say I am pretty impressed. Chrome is a lightweight, search-centric take on the web browser which aims to speed up the browsing experience. So far it’s lived up to that lofty goal for me, all while taking up only 34MB in memory (less than half that of FireFox)...
Google Chrome
by hicksdesign.co.uk
First of all, the good news is they’re using Webkit. I remember John Allsopp joking about how great it would be if there was just one rendering engine, that was downloaded just like the Flash plugin. It’ll never happen, but the rapid adoption of Webkit outside Safari is getting to be the closest we’ll have to that. I had expected them to go with XUL and Gecko, in order to support other platforms with ease, so a voice at the back of head says this will be Windows only...
Initial thoughts on Google Chrome
by hicksdesign.co.uk
When I wrote the last post, Google Chrome seemed like vaporware, but just as I hit publish, a release time was announced for later that day. Now that I’ve had a chance to have a play with the beta, here’s a brain dump of initial reactions:...

When I heard about this yesterday I was excited! This is such an obvious thing for Google to do that I don't know why I didn't think of it before. But then I thought, what about Firefox? I thought Google was one of FireFox's biggest financial contributors.
this article explains their relationship at the moment.
I think the next logical step is for Google to release an OS to compete with Windows and Leopard. They already have Android for cell phones. I predict that will be their next big release. It'll probably be Linux-based. That would be awesome!
I just finished reading the comic book for the browser and I'm blown away by it. It's almost like it's an OS. (like I mentioned in my previous post)
check it out here:

I use it since its release, and I must say i love it :)'

Great another browser, I really do not trust Google, but I will try it out anyways :o)
I've downloaded Chrome at soon as it was available and my first impressions were:
- new tab page is almost the same than opera's, however, Chrome's gets filled with user navigation history and frequency, and Opera's did based on a user input.
- the firebug/dragonfly-like environment doesn't allow editing right now but it's already there, which is a great thing
- bookmarks need a better management, and the integration with Google Bookmarks.
- omnibar is awesome, you just have to try it.
- the visible area is nice, quite large, no menus
- it's lacking built-in mouse gestures but you can get them with StrokeIt
When the plugin architecture get released it will rock, we will get the same user experience as with Firefox and even better maybe.
Google didn't abandon FF, it has signed financial support until 2011 with Mozilla.
Then again, aren't you scare that Google is behind Gecko and now Webkit?
I hope they finally fix the crossplatform problems !!!
I started to play with Chrome and it's pretty cool, as far as a technology demo, but I'm not really hoping that it catches on as I don't want to start designing for yet another browser. I know it runs on Webkit so there shouldn't be a problem as long as sites work in safari but I still don't think we need another major browser.
i'm willing to try it out just to see if it works more efficiently than FireFox... if it's faster than Firefox and isn't IE, then i'll use it
There's a famous saying: "You become what you hate." It's famous because it's proven to be true. Google has made a mobile OS, tons of web apps, and now a browser. Somebody's already talking about an OS in the future. The first comic on this page has a Google comic stating "We really really hate Microsoft." Google will become the next Microsoft.
Awesome program, i just love it all that is related to Google.
...and yes, i really, really hate Micro$oft... :-)

I am surprised that no one mentioned Google's EULA.
"By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."
"11.2 You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services."
Although they admitted that it NEEDED to be revised, it does sound rather strong to say the least.
http://www.webdesignmo.com/blog/2008/09/03/google-chrome-beta/ also have a small discussion about Chrome.
It looks pretty nice... A bit simple in my opinion... I like the possibility to click hyperlinks when viewing a source :-) Just a smart detail
Thank You very nice topic
Nice work ,great collection. Thanks for the share.
