Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari web browsers have continued to steal market share from their much larger rivals Internet Explorer and Firefox over the past six months, according to internal ZDNet.com.au statistics.
Despite the hype, it seems few IT departments are testing Google's recently launched Web browser Chrome yet.
Australian developers have asked Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer what the company will do to address a Microsoft coding landscape that hasn't offered financial rewards like those available to iPhone and Facebook developers.
Search giant Google has confirmed it will shortly unveil a new Web browser dubbed 'Chrome' and based on code from the Webkit project.
Google introduced Chrome in part because it wants faster browsing and the richer Web applications that speed will unlock. So how does Chrome actually stack up?
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.
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.
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.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
It's always funny watching an event force a company to break old habits and this IE zero day was enough for Microsoft to do it. As Microsoft Australia's strategic security advisor Stuart Strathdee said "we pulled all stops to get this patch out".
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.
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.
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.

Microsoft's minimal attention to its Internet Explorer browser used to be a boon for some developers. But now it's starting to hurt.
ZDNet correspondent Sumi Das talks with Senior Editor Sam Diaz about the perks and pitfalls of the newly released browser from Google. Diaz also reveals why Sergey Brin is bugging the Chrome team on a daily basis.
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.
Take Mozilla, add a few pinches of Opera and stir in an instant messaging client, and you've got Netscape 7. Check out what's great and what sucks in our first take.
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.
Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser while adding some much-needed security features.
Venerable Internet Explorer is showing its age among the hot, young field of browsers led by Mozilla's Firefox.
