O.P. Google Chrome
I guess some of you know that Google Chrome will be released later today. I read the Google comic about it and I got very excited, and I can't wait to use it. Now, I also got curious about the effect this might have in the "browser war". I'm a little afraid that it will take away of the Firefox user share first, before (if at all) having a impact on the IE users. Thoughts?

Most likely it won't have such a big impact unless they suddenly start advertising for it on their homepage. However, I do hope that some of the features are embedded into Firefox. V8 certainly sounds interesting, so does the sandboxing. Oh, and webkit! Wooooooohoo.

Enough of the rant, I don't think it's going to take over anything, but I hope it is going to improve other browsers. Frankly, who can live without their Firefox extensions? :p

Doesn't sound too exciting. "Apps" run fine on my current browser (what the hell is the definition of a web app anyway, this sounds just like web 2.0).

If you read through the comic book, it appears that it's more important to tell what it can do, what's beneath the hood. I'm personally amazed that they've mashed together something with such a focus on the core. However, I am concerned the first impression will be similar to the "Safari for Windows" happening.

I am not sure. I think it looks pretty damned neat, but I will miss my foxmarks.

I definitely agree with the fact that it will probably eat more of Firefox's share than IE's - mainly because most tech savvy people use Firefox, and hence will look at Chrome, rather than the high number of people who are just like "Internet Explorer = The Internet"

Looks promising, a new generation of browsers for our modern Internet habits. Of course it will be a while before it can compete with the big boys :P.

Several reasons, but for one, it's a) fast b) powerful and c) open source.
Yeah, the evil browser Safari uses it, but buuu huuuu.
