Chrome Takes Mantle As Fastest Browser.

I've found an interesting article that mirrors my thoughts lately and which applies to the course. Google Chrome, Google's web browser - which is in direct competition with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla's Firefox 3.5 - has been reported today to be the fastest internet browser.

The article can be found here. To be frank, I'm not much of a computer-freak, i take an interest here and there, and normally i don't have much time for the lastest results on which program nudges only marginally in front of another, but I just find it both intersting and increasingly relevant.

It's interesting from the perspective of Google's ascent. Everything they have a go at, they succeed with. When their browser first appeared, I didn't care, all i knew was that Firefox was far better than Internet Explorer - and I knew better than everybody else. I looked at Google, taking a stab at the web browser market as greedy; as attempting to become even more dominant and try and grab even more of a slice of the pie in markets that weren't their own. But when I picked Chrome up for the first time, I realised that it really was the quickest. Two seconds less, everytime you load a page may not seem like much but it adds up. Not just that, but your surfing just flows so much easier. Ok, ok. I'm talking about a web browser - pretty boring, yes...but it's a vehicle for using the net and consequently: communicating. And as long as Google continue to revolutionise internet technology - like with Chrome - New Communication Technologies will continue to emerge and evolve, and I'll continue to have something to say.
