Google Chrome, Open Source Browser from Google

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Google has announced that they will be launching an open source web browser of their own. Google Chrome, as it will be known should be, according to the official Google Blog available for download some time today (Tuesday, 02.09.2008).

Funnily enough, Google Chrome was revealed to the world when Google by mistake sent some comic books detailing the browser ahead of time to a few blogs and tech sites. And yes, they really revealed their browser in a comic book.

The new browser takes elements from both Firefox and WebKit and is fully open source.

According to the Mozilla Foundation’s John Lilly, the new Google browser will not affect Firefox’s relationship with Google.
