Google Chrome to runover Firefox and IE

Did you see something? Google has released their version of the web browser. Name of this Google Product is Google Chrome. Google Chrome is an open-source browser. I decided what is the better way of writing this post, so I am writing it on Google Chrome, to see how it actually works.

Some of the Features it Includes

• Tabbed browsing where each tab gets its own process, leading to faster and more stable browsing. If one tab crashes, the whole browser doesn’t go down with it. (Best feature)
• A distinct user interface that places tabs on top of the browser window instead of right below the address bar. Not very crowded with menu bars and such.
• A new JavaScript engine built from the ground up for speed. It does load sites very fast.
• Malware and phishing lists that automatically update themselves and warn you of bad websites
• A default homepage that displays your most commonly used sites and other personalized information (I love this feature)
• Search bar is same as the url bar, so you can type either the search term or the url and it will take you there.
• Last But most Important feature, it displays Balkhis perfectly fine

This is only for Windows user for now as it is in the beta phase, but Google said that they are working on the Mac and Linux edition.

You ask me, Google Chrome is going to run over Firefox. Since this is an open-source browser, you will see a lot of developers, releasing their versions for this product. I personally like the look of Google Chrome, much better than the look of Firefox or IE.

I am not going to say that I didn’t expect this move. I knew that Google will come up with their own browser, but I didn’t expect it now. It was a surprise to me. But what I am wondering is Will Google stop funding Firefox? Because Firefox is their #1 competitor.

How does it affect Firefox? Well if you don’t know Google have funded Mozilla in the past 3 years with the heavy amount of 180 million USD. Which account for 85% of Mozilla’s total funding. Will Google still fund Firefox?

If they decide to, they will be funding their own competitor, and if they don’t will they be going down like Microsoft?

A lot of controversial questions that come to my mind. I might be silly to make a statement like that, but that is how Microsoft started as well. They went about getting into everything and eliminating their competitors. Then they received a slap from the government which left the Microsoft Corporation suffering till this day in some countries around the globe.

Why do you think I say that? Well because google is buying out or trying to buy out all of their competitors. If they can’t buy it out, then they make something better, so they completely eliminate their competitor.

Some examples:

Google Video was owned by Google, then they bought Youtube because their brand wasn’t getting enough exposure.

Wikipedia was one of the sources that everyone used to find answers. Wikipedia used to rank high for a lot of terms, and now the pattern is switching towards Knol as Google has announced it.

Orkut is Google’s Social Media baby, and they have been trying to buyout Facebook, so they eliminate one of their competition.

Just open your eyes, and you will see. All of Google Products get a very high Pagerank in the next update they are out. They automatically begin to rank higher than other products for the keywords. For instance if I search, Webmaster Blog, top two are google webmaster blog results, and those aren’t that resourceful.

Now, another thing they are doing is mixing their products. Such as Google analytics, Orkut, and more. You just need one google account, to login to everything else. Why would people want to make separate account. Soon, I am sure Google will implement Google login system in youtube as well. That is how Microsoft was slapped because they started implementing Internet Explorer into Windows which pretty much destroyed Netscape.

If Google continues to embed one login system and interrelating their products, will they go down like Microsoft? What do you think?
