Google released a comic explaining the workings of their new web browser “Chrome”
Microsoft has another reason to be worried.
Late last night, Google announced that they’ll be releasing their own web browser entitled “Chrome” later today in 100 countries. Alongside the announcement is a comic that explains the technology behind the release and does it in a fashion that a layman can understand. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is the web browser king and Google is looking to bite into its market share with this release.
From what I’ve seen, the main benefits touted in this new browser are its better service of web applications, better internet security, and its open source nature plus the fact that it is lightweight compared to its competitors.
Take a look at the comic for a thorough explanation of what is behind Chrome and what it intends to do.
