Reaction to the release of Google Chrome
SEO’s and webmasters watched their computer screens with baited breath Tuesday afternoon (on the east coast, anyway) through a long press conference to download the latest revolution in web browsers from your friends at… none other than Google.
Google Chrome is now open source… and open to the public. Cool things about G-Chrome:
- The Incognito Window
- Really fast browsing
- Use of exsisting browser technology
- Search integration into the Omnibox
The fact that it lacks a file toolbar will no doubt confuse most regular internet users. Can speed alone cause the majority of Internet Explorer users to get over the potential confusion of a browser without a file bar?
Chrome also seems to have a hodgepodge of the best things from each major web browser out there… along with a smattering of improvements.
So, if the only major benefit most common internet users are going to get from Chrome is faster browsing, then what was the point of the G-team putting this product out? Simple… MORE SEARCHES! Faster browser – more searches. Faster search – more searches.
And at Google, more searches = more $.
Of course, there could always be another motive for why Google put out Chrome. As I mentioned earlier, one of the coolest things about Chrome is Incognito mode, which basically allows you to hide a screen’s content (and any notation of you visiting a site) behind a normal web browser window.
At the same time, that doesn’t mean no one will know what you’re looking at on the internet. ProspectMX, a Pennsylvania internet marketing company, has created a “Chrome Comic” that explains the real reason behind the development of what is sure to become known as “pRon mode.” Check it out.
