Google launches internet browser called 'Chrome'
Yesterday Google launched an open source web browser to compete with Internet Explorer and Firefox.
The browser is designed to be fast, and to cope with the next generation of web applications that rely on graphics and multimedia.
Called Chrome, it will launch as a beta for Windows machines in 100 countries, with Mac and Linux versions to come.
The new browser will help Google take advantage of developments it is pushing online in rich web applications that are challenging traditional desktop programs.
The launch of a beta version of Chrome represents Google’s latest assault on Microsoft’s dominance of the PC business. The firm’s Internet Explorer program dominates the browser landscape, with 80% of the market.
