The Entire Google Chrome Browser Blog Announcement

in News on September 1, 2008 at 2:15 pm PT

As was reported earlier today by BoomTown, Google confirmed on its blog that it will launch its new Chrome browser tomorrow. Google said it would be launching Chrome in 100 countries, but but will only be available in beta in Windows (Google said Mac and Linux versions were coming soon). The move by the search giant, although the blog does not say so, is clearly a direct shot over the bow of Microsoft, which dominates the browser market with 74 percent share. Here is the full blog post by Sundar Pichai, VP Product Management at Google, and Linus Upson, Engineering Director.

Here is Google’s entire comic book–BoomTown’s not going to say the search giant is juvenile, but a comic book?–that it is using to explain the technical details of its new browser called Chrome. Sources told me definitively Google will launch the browser–which is its most blatant attack on Microsoft yet–as early as tomorrow for download by consumers.
