Chrome Google’s Internet Explorer

Chrome to Google is what Internet Explorer to Microsoft. Yes, you are right. Chrome, a web browser, is the newest google product intended, as people might say, to compete with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer dominance.

Can Chrome do it? The more important thing for us, the users, is not about which’s winning what . Having more options to browse and hence, as Google says, to “add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web” is a lot more substance.

Update 3 September 2008: In my place, Indonesia, the link download to Google Chrome has started appearing in Google.com (see the picture) right below the search inbox. Or you even can download it free from here.

Last but not the least, what does Chrome literally mean? As this word will be one of world most frequently used English word, it’s necessary for you to know at least how to correctly spell and pronounce it. Here’s a peek from dictionary about the meaning, pronunciation and definition of Chrome although it may have nothing to do with reason Google pick the name for its web browser’s product:

From Collins Essential English Dictionary 2nd Edition 2006

Google Chrome so far sih udah enak banget. Cuma kayaknya masih ada bug dikit. Saya setiap kali aktifin fasilitas find (ctrl+F) masih tidak bisa digunakan untuk mencari kata yang kita inginkan. Padahal fasilitas ini penting buat saya saat mau edit code HTML untuk template blog saya.
Akhirnya saya masih lebih sering menggunakan firefox dibanding GC.
