Google Chrome (Beta) Released

Google has launched the beta release of an open source web browser named Google Chrome which is available for Windows XP and Vista only. The browser can be downloaded from here for free.

Google Chrome is based on WebKit, the open-source rendering engine which is used by Apple’s Safari browser and Google’s Android operating system.

The web browser market is presently dominated by Microsoft's Internet Explorer with 80% of the market.

Google also launched a 38-page comic book along with the browser to describe its usage which is available here. The Blogoscoped article here covers details of what is going on. BBC has covered the event here.
