Tomorrow Google will release a beta version of Google Chrome, its new open source browser. According to a comic book that Google released early by accident, Chrome has a variety of attractive features (summarized at GoogleBlogoscoped). Adrian Kingsley-Hughes suspects that Internet Explorer will be Chrome's primary target, but it might be as much of a threat to Firefox, Safari, and Opera. I really like Firefox, but I'd be happy to switch if Chrome is better. I'll probably download a copy tomorrow and try it out.
Google does seem to be taking over the world, and that's a bit of a worry. Unless Chrome is a lot better than Firefox, it's enough of a worry to keep me from switching.
UPDATE: Lance Ulanoff isn't too impressed. He thinks Firefox will benefit most from all of the hype.
