New Rival to Explorer: Google’s Chrome!

Google is releasing the free browser, called “Chrome,” in an attempt to counter the dominance of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Chrome will be available in more than 100 countries and will work for computers running on Microsoft’s Windows, Linux, and Apple’s Mac operating systems though the versions for Mac and Linux are still tested.

If until now Google tried to undermine Internet Explorer by supporting Firefox, the Web browser developed by open-source Mozilla Foundation, the new “Chrome” is sure to bring new tensions between the two giant companies. Even if they’re launching their own Web Browser, Google is going to keep the advertising partnership with Firefox at least until 2011.

Google appreciates that Chrome is a sophisticated Web browser that brings the best solutions to people as they migrate from television, radio and newspapers. The unofficial google blog, Blogoscoped, also presents screenshots of the new chrome. Still, the official www.google.com/chrome page shows nothing yet. We’ll probably be able to download Chrome by Tuesday so I guess we’ll see then how much of the user friendly interface, of the speed, and of the stability we’ll get.

Chrome’s probably going to raise some problems for Google as they could get accused of monopoly. But, as they keep everything open-sourced, they should be just fine. Nothing wrong about a new web browser, I’m sure. I just hope this one really makes a difference.

Former specialists of Google have announced, Sunday, launching a new search engine called Cuil, in an attempt to exceed in size the current leader in this field, but the team Cuil Inc. (pronounced “cool”), which can be accessed at http://www.cuil.com, provides new search services, and company representatives argue that can access faster than Google wider areas of the Internet, generating more references to a search.

Specialists who created the new program argue that it is not limited to classical methods aimed at the search address traffic and a Website, but examines the context of each page and concepts on which Internet users use them for their searches.

“Important discoveries we’ve made in search technology have allowed us to index a more extensively to inerne and put almost the entire Web to reach our users,” said the executive director of Cuil, Tom Costello.

Danny Sullivan, Web specialist and chief editor of Search Engine Land, is of the opinion that the engine Cuil Asia Pacific to exploit unhappiness that users have to Google that it aims to achieve too much, that the search results displayed in the first row Website popular and that rely too much on some Internet sites such as Wikipedia.

“It’s the right time for a competitor,” said Sullivan, “but to be rival Google is still a difficult task, something that those from Microsoft were convinced to.”

If you visit Google.com from an iPhone, you now get a menu of services to choose from – home (search box), Gmail, Calendar, Reader and More (docs, sms, goog-411, news, photos, blogger and notebook). It’s basically all of the core Google services, accessible from a single easy to use menu.

The new application has what is now considered a signature look for the iPhone. The look and feel of many of the interface elements are similar to those created by Joe Hewitt, whose sample framework and code have been used in dozens of iPhone applications. I don’t know if Google used any of his freely offered code, but it certainly has the look of one of his applications.

Google is planning to launch a new online service dubbed “Gdrive“, where users will be allowed to securely store their PC data online.

The service will allow users to store data such as Office docs, digital music, video clips, and images from their PC hard drives onto the online storage space to be offered by Google.

The stored data will be available for access to users through the Internet on different PCs and mobile phones. It will also be available for sharing files with friends after signing-in with a password, as and when required.

However, the storage space and expansion options being made available to users have not been revealed yet.

The online storage service is no news as rumors about “Gdrive” have been doing the rounds of industry for quite sometime now.


There are concerns being raised about the privacy of data and copyright issues, because content will be stored online, which can lead to illegal sharing of it.

According to Google though, data privacy has been addressed with the utmost sensitivity, and extensive safeguards have been put in place to protect user data.

“Gdrive” is just a few months away from release.
