Google Chrome Announced

September 3rd, 2008 by Erik Wallace

Google released a beta version of it’s open source browser yesterday. Chrome has some pretty innovative ideas which are detailed in a behind the scenes webcomic. While a beta version for Mac is still under development I am excited to see how it stacks up against Mozilla’s Firefox.

    I wonder if there will be a way to embed this much faster & more stable browser inside our security tool so that we could use it for kiosk development…

    Perhaps once it is fully developed it will get integrated with Kiosk Operating Systems as default browser engine. However, since a kiosk may need to surf to a page with ActiveX or other IE only technology… it’s unlikely to happen soon. I wish it would support ActiveX controls, that would solve so many issues. Also, I noticed that it doesn’t play nice with Sharepoint, Exchange Web email, etc. which use Active Directory logins. Perhaps there is a fix for that? I’m optimistic about this browser though, and think they have a chance to gain a larger marketshare than Mozilla. Safari also has a chance to take away marketshare from IE since it is more developed and part of Iphone / Itunes / Mac integrations. That is really how IE has won thus far… Windows integration and dependency. (wasn’t there a lawsuit over that??)

    It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
