Where can i download it from?

Harley , Epsom, United Kingdom

I've just tried it - I don't think that Firefox or IE need to worry. Without Firefox's add-ons and mature set of options, it's pretty useless.

It also failed to import my Firefox bookmarks, and there's no way of importing them manually.

I'm using Chrome to write this and think it's AWESOME, sorry Mozilla/MS, Firefox/IE will be uninstalled later today!!

Andrew Doyle, Manchester,

I have been using it for about half an hour now and it seems good so far. It gives an impression of clarity (although I haven't found a way to zoom in yet. It is quite snappy. It could even prise me away from Firefox

David, Chippenham,

Have just downloaded a copy and testing it out. My usual browser is firefox.

My first impression is that chrome is pretty fast. Firefox seems sluggish in comparison. Also there is very little clutter at the top of the browser.

I like it.

Google's 38-page comic book makes their Chrome browser look enticing, both from its use of the WebKit rendering engine (surely the best there is) and because the usability and security looks to surpass all other browsers currently available.

David, Cheshire,

Sounds good.
It surprises me so many people still use IE6/7 as it seems to me to be a third rate browser compared to FF2/3 or even Opera.
I'll try it but it'll take a lot to pry Firefox out of my hands

Phill , The Wirral, England

i dont use IE. i wont use GC. i use mozilla firefox.

presh, bath,

Opera, guys, check Opera, I'm all life software engineer, and I know what I'm talking about.
Thanks God Google did not buy Opera (there were talks ...), well done guys in Opera Software, keep up with good job!

The article omits the fact that Chrome will be open source, so the important bits (notably the javascript engine) could relatively easily be incorporated in FireFox. IE market share is dwindling increasingly rapidly as users recognise it for the grossly inferior product it is. Well done Google!

I love IE7, I have used IE for years and have always programmed websites using IE users in mind and I do prefer it to any other browser. IE8 is out soon, looks amazing, the BETA2 version is good but doesn't work with Facebook properly yet, once this is out properly, I'm sticking with IE8.

Nicki Urwin, Nottingham, England

I'm sticking with Firefox, if Chrome is not free, why get it? if it is free, what's the point?

peter c, Devizes, Wessex

I'll be fascinated to see how it works, and I'll probably enjoy playing with it, but I doubt it'll take over from IE or Firefox in the short term. It may well kill off Opera though...

Ross, Ripon, UK

As a future web site developer, I belive that the browser of google will be a very good alternative choise, for those who have been got bored by using internet explorer,firefox,safari,etc...

John, Athens, Greece

This is much bigger news than it seems. Google's comments about "a modern platform for web pages and applications" sound like a declaration of war on Microsoft. Translated: "This is not a browser. This is (the beginnings of) an operating system."

Alex, London,

Alastair, Alicante, Spain:
As a web developer, you should understand that google have not developed their own rendering engine for Chrome, they are using WebKit, so there shouldn't be any problems introduced.

Ben, Cardiff,

As a web developer I worry that this browser will simply present more bugs to deal with. Considering how poorly google's own homepage is coded I hold little hope that their browser will be as standards compliant as Opera, Safari, Camino or Firefox. If it's anything like IE it'll be a disaster.

Alastair, Alicante, Spain

This wont majorly affect Microsofts market share, instead it will just divide those that would prefer to use an inferior browser due to their hatred of Microsoft. In other words, FireFox's share will be hit... not IEs

Jamie, Maidstone, England

They make the profit, by using search engines, when you just type words into the address bar, the browser will redirect you to a site, or a search. This feature is built into the browser, and it is estimated that Firefox has made over 36 billion dollars from this feature. Sounds profitable to me.

bd, ny, usa

I'll try it out, but I'll probably stick to Firefox 3.

Tom, Wakefield,

Looks like browser wars are heating up once again. it is interesting to note that at one hand Google is supporting Firefox, on other hand they are coming out with their own version. But that's good news - more compition, better products.

brij, Brisbane, Australia

is not all the sorts of browser free for internet users? where is the profit?
anyway,i love google, it is way too so much better than its rival, therefore, i will download the new browser in the first time!
