Another volley has been fired in the browser wars, this time from search masters Google. Their offering, now in beta release, is Chrome.

You can learn about the nuts and bolts from a YouTube video and a comic interpretation, both of which are linked here. I suspect though that unless you are a developer, programmer, or just a big technogeek like me you won’t understand or care about the nuts and bolts. Nor should you. [After all, most of us drive automobiles without more than a glimmer of an idea of how they get us from A to B... although I personally think any driver should at least be able to remember to release the freakin' parking brake before trying to drive off into the sunset....]

Speed, stability, security — that’s what is supposed to be better about Chrome compared to whatever browser you currently use. You’ll just have to try it and see if it works better for your web experiences. [Oh yeah, you can get it here.] I’ve played with it a little yesterday and today. Too little time to make a determination. But I like the principles on which it’s built [because you know I read the comic and watched the video....]

I’ll probably do another post after I’ve played with it some more. If you try it, let me know what you think of it.
