Just a few days ago, Google released its new Web browser, Chrome, designed to take a swing at the market’s top three. The company presented its service as the next level when it comes to Web surfing, promising a whole new experience. It promises to provide a faster, easier and less frustraiting Web access. Unfortunately, as expected, this first beta version is filled with errors and flaws and the company keeps receiving complaints from its users.
Google keeps its focus on the big picture, presenting the innovative release only as the starting point and ensures its clients that it will not be long until these problems will be a thing of the past.
"Think of Chrome as more than a simple Web browser," Google said, referring to its huge potential for upgrades and new features. "It's a platform for running Web applications."
At this point there are three major players, starting with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, then Mozilla’s Firefox and finally Apple’s Safari browser. Even though until recently, Microsoft did not have any real competition, people realised that the choice is theirs and started looking for new products. This led to a significant popularity boost for Mozilla’s Firefox and also for Apple’s users who chose Safari as their browser. Google’s product cannot be placed in the same category with the others because it is not the company’s final product version. In order to estimate its utility and performance we will have to wait a few more beta versions.
