On September 2, 2008 Google released a beta version of ‘Google Chrome’ for Windows, it is an open source web browser based on the WebKit layout engine/application framework.
When a new browser is launched as a web developer you have to understand how it works and how it presents sites you produce. Chrome really excels when it comes to speed and when developing a website this is very important. Visually speaking, I like the minimalist approach very much and the combination search/address bar works very well and saves on space.
From a purely technical standpoint, I think Chrome is a good(though not groundbreaking) browser, with good improvements in terms of speed and usability. However I hope there is further work on javascript support and a high level of security will hopefully be maintained.
Google Chrome will surely become more popular but with IE and Firefox around domination of the browser market is a long way off.
