Google have announced plans to take on Microsoft and Firefox with their own browser.
The Google Chrome browser will be based on the existing Webkit rendering engine and integrate not only tab-based browsing but
Google Gears and the latest version of the company’s search technology, called Omnibox.
Omnibox, which will replace the address bar and search bar in the Google Chrome browser, will offer search suggestions,
popular pages and history pages. Omnibox will also automatically replicate a webpage’s own search box, allowing site and
query strings to be entered simultaneously: for instance, entering “amazon”, pressing tab and then the search term will automatically
go to an Amazon search results page for that term.
Google Chrome BrowserThe Google Chrome browser will also include some of the more popular features from existing rivals.
It will have a homepage of nine instant-access shortcut thumbnails along with recent search history and recent tabs.
Tabs themselves will be switched to above the window, not below it as on Firefox. There’ll be a privacy mode - which Google are
calling an “incognito” window - within which no record of surfing will be kept. Malware and phishing will be protected against, with
the Google Chrome browser automatically downloading a constantly updated list of harmful sites in the background.
An updated JavaScript Virtual Machine, called V8, will also be an integral part of the Google Chrome browser,
which has been specially developed in Denmark. It promises to speed up JavaScript and reduce memory bloat,
which will make a significant difference in webapps. It’ll also flag up any core offenders, whether webpages or plug-ins,
that use up more memory than they should. Chrome will allow webapps to create their own, address and toolbar free windows,
better replicating traditional desktop apps and blurring the differentiation between the two.Intended for release as an open-source project,
the Google Chrome browser has no specific release date attached to it. -SlashGear Take Google Chrome for a test drive!

I am using Google Crome since last 3 days,but I did not find it that much impressive. Its just yet another web browser, that's all!!
I find it to be a mixture of firefox and opera browsers; where, majority of the features are from firefox and some from opera.
What is the point using crome when I have what I need there in firefox? Just for the sake of omnibox?? Boss, I am happy with search option provided by ff.
