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?
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.
Just a week after its launch, there are more ZDNet.com.au readers using Google Chrome than Apple's Safari browser. Meanwhile, Microsoft Internet Explorer now accounts for just 53 per cent of all browsers.
Adobe announced today that Flash developers will be able to create applications that run natively on the iPhone, but the ability to have Flash plugged into Safari remains missing.
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.
A rash of creativity has overcome browser vendors recently in a completely unexpected place: the content of the new tab page.
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.
Firefox is still king when it comes to daily work on the tubes, despite the steady increase in the buzz surrounding the open-source Webkit project, on which Safari and Google Chrome are based.
Is Apple keeping the iPod Touch and iPhone platform closed to third party developers to protect its impressive record on security?
Despite Apple's public claim that its engineers "designed Safari to be secure from day one," researchers have already found several dangerous flaws. Here are several steps you can take to disable various features in Safari to reduce the risk of hacker attacks.

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 Developer Day 2007 conference kicked off globally in Sydney this morning and ZDNet Australia went along to record all things Google.
While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
Web 2.0, with its complex sites and rich Ajax applications, is an increasingly demanding platform for a browser. In this review feature, we look at how the leading browsers measure up.
If you're only after speed, try Safari but keep your other browser, too. Security buffs should skip Safari for now.
If you're only after speed, try the Safari beta but keep your other browser, too. Security buffs should skip Safari for now.
It's only in beta, but Apple's surprise new browser, Safari, is creating major buzz. How does it rate?
