Google dispensed with the agnostic approach and championed its own Chrome browser with this guide on how to use Chrome. Why has Google done this, more than a year after launching the browser? A couple reasons leap to mind.

Google, exasperated by the number of people who don't seem to know what a Web browser is, moved to address the ignorance with WhatBrowser.org, a Website that details Web browsers and links to valuable information about the various applications that let us surf the Web.

Google's Chrome Web browser team today released Google Chrome Frame, an open-source plug-in that enables Chrome's WebKit rendering engine to run in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. I suspect Chrome Frame will be a big determiner of how well Wave is adopted by those millions of workers who are stuck using IE 6 because of corporate regulations.

I have heard many smart people say and write that Google intends its Google Chrome browser, along with Android and no doubt the Chrome Operating System, as distractions for Microsoft to keep Microsoft's Bing search engine out of Google's search business. I don't believe this is true, so I'm going to go out on a little limb here and predict that Chrome will have 10 percent or greater of the browser market by its second birthday.

Geeks should be gaga over the new bookmark sync tool in the latest developer channel build for Google Chrome.

Website thumbnails were previously static on the New Tab page, but there is now drag-and-drop functionality, enabling users to click a thumbnail and move it anywhere on the page.

Google's Chrome browser is more than just a poke in the eye at Microsoft. It's a strategic move that should have both Microsoft and Adobe worried about the future of their applications. As Nick Kolakowski reported on eWEEK, Google introduced...

Clearly, Mac and Linux versions of Chrome are the most sought after iterations for the Web browser, which got me wondering. Chrome is used by less than 1 percent of computer users worldwide, according to Net Applications, which tracks Web browser and operating system use among other Web apps. It will be interesting to see what the uptake of Chrome will be when Mac and Linux versions appear.
