Yesterday Google released "Chrome" the much anticipated new web browser built completely from the ground up. In the spirit of the internet it is completely open source and borrows from both Firefox and Webkits. The browser is quite bare bones and not as feature rich as Firefox 3 for example, but it is a starting point and we can expect massive development to come.The real reason for Google doing this is to create a better browser capable for web based apps of the future. They fully understand that the browser has changed little to keep up with the new Web/Enterprise 2.0 technologies such as Ajax and XML now widespread in Web Apps. Chrome is built specifically for these and seems to be doing a great job.
