No no, not you.  The title is geared more towards Microsoft, Mozilla, and a handful of other companies that divvy up the browser market.  It would seem that Google is taking an interest in creating a browser of their own.  I bet it's going to be marvellous. 

Since the early days of their killer search engine, Google has dominated many of the markets that it plays in.  It's no real surprise to find out they have an interest in the browser market.  They already hold a significant number of users in the online mail circuit with their gMail product.  They have been working the browser add-ons for some time with they Google Search Bar.  Why not bring some new competition to the browser wars.  Microsoft has seemingly dominated this area since the early days of Internet Explorer 3 and 4.  Only recently has a real competitor come forward to challenge their monopoly - Mozilla and their Firefox product.  Google will definitely have to produce an amazing product to compete with Firefox 3 and the looming Internet Explorer 8.

The news of Google Chrome's development was accidentally leaked when a promotional comic was accidentally published a little too early.  Never the less, the company is eager to share the news.  After reading through the information published on the Google blog, it looks as though they built this browser from the ground up.  They refer to the interface as "streamlined and simple".  I like that idea.   Chrome is said to create each new tab in it's own isolated sandbox, so as not to have one tab crashing another and improve the level of protection from rogue sites.  They also built a more powerful JavaScript engine to power a new generation of web applications that are not possible with today's browsers.  Best of all, they are keeping it open source.  No secrets.

The beta version will be launching tomorrow, September 2, in more than 100 countries.  You can be sure we will be testing it out and sharing our thoughts.
