New Chrome Browser from Google

The new Google Chrome is out! This is a new browser from Google, which is going to battle against Internet Explorer and Firefox. Last time Google and Microsoft were battling, Google came on top with superior search engines. The interesting question now is whether Google will be able to take the lead against Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Chrome promises better performance, better integration with applications such as Gmail and Google Docs (obviously) and features coming from all known browsers. You can read more about it in the Chrome comics http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/#

This is how my blog looks like from Chrome:

When I tried to access my hotmail account throught Chrome, I got the following warning:

Upgrade your web browser

We recommend that you upgrade your web browser so you can get the most out of Windows Live Hotmail. Upgrading should only take a few minutes. To get started, choose one of the browsers below:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari

If you don’t want to upgrade right now you can still continue to Windows Live Hotmail, but some parts of it may not work and it may not be displayed properly.

Could it be that this is how Microsoft is dealing with the new rival?

Summary of the first day (it just came out yesterday) - very promising, but need to be further explored.
