Browser Compare, Internet Web Browser |

Google is joining a European competition complaint against Microsoft. Google believes that Microsoft abused its dominant position to compete with other web browser as Chrome, FireFox & Opera.

According to Google there is still not a fair competition in the market for Web browsers . Thats mainly caused due Internet Explorer is intertwined with operating system Windows, by far the majority of PC owners use.  IE has an unfair advantage over other browsers, says Google. In the mobile market, where IE can not piggyback on Windows, the market share is much smaller, notes the Google.

Innovation

Google says that the dominance of IE is bad for the innovation of the Internet. Microsoft’s browser technology is less advanced than, for example, Firefox, Safari, Opera or Google’s own web browser Chrome. Because IE so widely used by consumers,  web sites often do not use the latest technologies because IE doesn’t support these or generate errors.

Browser Compare, Internet Browser |

Microsoft’s Internet browser, Internet Explorer, loses playground. In the second half of 2008 the market share declined from 74 to 68 percent, this is shown by the December figures of Net Applications.
Although Microsoft continues to dominate the market for browsers, the decrease remarkably. For years, the strong position of Microsoft was more or less stable.

The software giant is facing competition from different angles. Mozilla Firefox is the most widely used internet browser and is increasingly popular, the market share in six months rose from 18 to 21 percent. 
Firefox is based on open source software, which means the software source code is publicly available to edit and extend. This is beside the performance one of the reasons why it wins marketshare.

Internet company Google also entered the market for browsers with the free “Google Chrome” browser in September 2008 and has shown being formidable competitor with already 1% marketshare. Furthermore, the increasing use of Mac operating systems, Apple also use Apple’s Safari browser again. This blows the popularity of this internet browser.

Google Chrome is a free and open source web browser established by Google. The name results from graphical user interface framework, or chrome, of the web browsers. Chromium is name of open source project after Google Chrome, released in the BSD certificate.

Chrome is full of smart and cool features which appear to have been motivated by other browsers. Chrome is minimalistic in extreme with no menu bar, no status bar and only a single tool bar (for bookmarks), as well as some may even call it a stripped-down. This first version is named as Beta which means it is still in testing.

As the start-up page Chrome shows pictures of 9 mini-web pages, representing the most regularly visited websites. The Create application shortcuts command creates an icon on your desktop. Once you click it, the corresponding website opens without the normal address bar; it now works like a usual desktop program.

Can Google Chrome’s Features Outsmart other browsers?

Browser Compare, Internet Web Browser |

Google Chrome is actually the new and latest browser offered by Google.  It is still in beta and hence we cannot expect it to be near perfect.  Although from the look of things overall, it looks like a pretty decent and safe and faster browser compare to the others like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari.

The installation of Google Chrome goes off like a breeze.  But it is a pity that you need to have at least Windows XP SP2 to install Google Chrome.  After the installation you can actually import all the bookmarks from other browsers from the import bookmarks & settings.  It takes hardly seconds to import the bookmarks depending on the bookmarks you have in the other browsers.

You can then start personalizing your Google Chrome by doing minor changes and tweaks to suit your personal settings.  You can switch on or off on the password settings and also make all the settings to default depending on what you need.  You can also choose the default search engine, where if you just search at the address bar, the result will be displayed using this search engine.  You can also choose the home page at the tools menu.

Google Chrome Web2.0 Next Generation Browser

Browser Compare, Internet Web Browser |

Google Chrome is the newbie in the browser market which has been dominated by Firefox and Internet Explorer along with Opera and Safari.  Where Internet Explorer was leading followed by Firefox till now, this could change soon with the arrival of Google Chrome.

We could compare how Gmail changed the way we look at free emails, similarly Google Chrome could do the same when it comes to browsers.  And similarly Chrome could become market leader when it comes to browsers soon, very similar to how Gmail reached the top spot in the category of free emails.

But since this is an entirely different category and hence Google will really need to work hard to reach the top spot particularly they had compete with Firefox which has been of late spreading like wild fire with its marketing tactics and its credibility.
