Google has published its plan to build into Chrome what is arguably its most requested feature: the ability to accept extensions that can customise how the open source Web browser operates.
Google released an Internet Explorer plug-in on Tuesday designed to let Microsoft's browser use the features and performance of Google's own Chrome browser.
Google this afternoon announced the creation of the Google Chrome Operating System project, with the goal to build a Linux-based OS available for purchase on netbooks in the second half of 2010.
The first images of Google's new Web browser, Chrome, appear to have leaked via a Flickr user who has published screenshots of the application.
Google yesterday in the US said it planned to develop an add-ons system for its new Chrome browser, similar to the functionality that can be found in rival Mozilla Firefox.
Google has announced a new Chrome Operating System, designed for the web and with a browser baked directly into it so much so that the entire OS is named after it. But the search giant should watch out: this decision seems designed to attract antitrust attention.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
Turns out that the "developer preview" of Google's latest creation, Google Wave, is not as open as one would expect, with the preview only being open to attendees of Google's I/O conference but there is another way to see it in action. And forget wanting to use IE6 with it.
IE may be the quickest browser to load pages, but this is not a 100m dash; seems like someone has forgotten to tell Microsoft that there is another 300m of JavaScript to go until this race is over.
The choice and use of the new video tag in HTML 5 is one of the more explosive sticking points in the evolving standard. Which codecs should browsers use? Why even have a video tag at all when Flash works well currently? Will anyone use it even if it becomes a standard?
Google's recently launched web browser, Chrome, will have to overcome a number of major obstacles before it can break the business ubiquity of Internet Explorer and counter the rise of Firefox.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm drinking the Google Kool-Aid here, but I have switched from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome as my default browser for the very reason Google's executives said we should: speed.
Google's decision to create its own Linux distribution and splinter the Linux community decisively once again can only be seen as foolhardy and self-obsessive.
We cast an eye over Google Wave's developer preview to see the world of wavelets, blips and robots.
The internet has exploded in a single, joyous, mass-hallucination called Chrome. Apparently it's the fastest browser ever and will solve a myriad of problems from slowness within Google Spreadsheet to possibly creating an acceptable carbon trading scheme.
We take a quick look at the new Web browser from search giant Google. CNET Webware's Josh Lowensohn takes you through some of its top features including the deeply integrated search, minimalist interface, and smart use of privacy.
Is Google's Chrome operating system a dud or a great idea?
Any other name would be better than Ubuntu's latest. Club Builder this week examines some alternative names, looks over Google Chrome's heritage, and a new Seinfeld ad for Microsoft debuts.
When Google introduced a Web browser earlier this fall, the debut was accompanied by much expectation as well as by much skepticism. But Chrome is starting to win over more converts -- including CNET News' Stephen Shankland, who explains why on today's CNET News Daily Debrief with Charles Cooper.
Windows 7 will be code-versioned as Windows 7.0, won't it? On this week's Club Builder we see that it isn't so, as well as get Steve Ballmer thoughts on Vista deployment; plus we see some new HTML5 tricks.
Google has rethought the Internet browser some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.
Developers make good stress testers, and the initial Wave service has had a lot of testing in the last few months. We take a ride on the wave, which should be opening to a wider beta program at the end of September.
The much-hyped Google Android phone operating system will hit Australia on 29 January 2009, in the form of the Kogan Agora and Agora Pro. At first glance, this looks to be one of the most exciting products of the year.
If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.
