Google has silently released its own browser named Google Chrome. Their logo colors are very googlish and they have incorporated security features that we have only seen so far in the beta releases of IE8.

The user interface is well designed and it gives lot of space to websites. You will feel like you have opened a website in full screen mode yet you will see headers. There is no status bar but still it manages to show the loading message perfectly.

Speed of the browser is faster than Firefox 3.0 and it is indeed next version browser for web2.0 applications. It uses a Skia graphics engine developed by Skia Inc., which Google acquired in 2005. Google is not only planning to capture the desktop market but also mobile market. This vector graphics rendering engine makes high end visual effects possible. It is tiny in size and is capable of delivering very high quality.

Default page is yet another Google break through. It shows you most visited links and you can click it and open the page directly. This is really going to save you lots of keyboard typing. You will definitely love this feature. I wonder why anyone else can’t figure it out.

Cross browser issue is yet another concern for software developers. But the good thing is that Google has thought well on these issues and their engine is based on Webkit engine and to our surprise it rendered all of our applications very smoothly without any changes. This is a great move by Google.

From Developers point of view Google has embed developer console which is definitely not going to replace firebug but at least it will help them to debug codes better than IE. In future version you can be sure to see some great development tools.

And finally browser war will get more intense and this will only make browsers better.
