Google released its latest project today, also known as Google Chrome. Google now plans to compete in the browser business against Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. With Internet Explorer soon releasing version 8 with new high security features (read more here) and Mozilla Firefox being ever so popular, will Google Chrome reach out to the internet masses?

Yesterday Google announced in an official blogpost that it would be making Chrome available for download today (Sept 2, 2008).

The announcement was made strangely in a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud. Google Chrome is to be a new JavaScript virtual machine.

Google Chrome is an open source browser with many hints being made that it will be a complete system. Google Chrome runs on what are called tabbed sessions with separate processes so that if there is a crashed process, the rest of the browser will not shutdown.

According to Zdnet, ” (Chrome) adds a task manager and a hierarchical process controller. It also has Gears, allowing web apps to work offline, plus multiple innovations in garbage collection, security and user interfaces – including a nine-pane automated favorites page, where the browser keeps your most-visited pages front and centre.”

Google Chrome will have automated test system known as Chrome Bot which will help with selections. Google is hoping to emulate and do better than Mozilla Firefox and Webkit as an open source browser application.

Google Chrome I imagine is hoping to push the boundaries as more than just a search engine with multiple capabilities but one with different divisions of types of processes and applications it can provide people with around the world.

With many reviews already coming in positive, is there anything that can stop this internet giant from slowly monopolizing the web?

Do you think that Chrome will surpass Firefox?? Definitely – No Way
