Comments on: Google Chrome: Browser competition back in high gear

No browser maker is complacent these days, but Google's open-source browser effort is likely to put on even more pressure.

Google's Chrome is aimed at Windows, not IE

This is no longer about browser but about the an entire marketplace spread between desktop, mobile and web. With Chrome, Google?s taking a shot at Windows, not paltry Internet Explorer

I've covered this in more detail on my blog

Do not trust Google Chrome.

Chrome is spyware mascaraing as a browser.

We've known for two years that Google's been developing its own proprietary Linux-based desktop / laptop / etc operating system to compete with Windows. And to do this, they'll need a browser as an integral part - much like IE is to Windows or Safari is to OS X. None of this is news.

What's news is that at long last, Chrome has entered the fray. Compared to the other four (no extensions allowed), it's far less fast than two of the big four, it's far less secure than three of the big four, it's barely as stable as one of the big four (discount this because Chrome's still in BETA) and its GUI is so fugly it looks like it was hit by a fugly stick.

And I LOVE it for the same reasons I LOVE those 100 shares - Chrome's gonna win. I'm a little slow, don't invest too much in my "mini-401K" (lol) and Google was the first software company I ever bought. I only like monopolies and these guys haven't let me down yet.
