I get all of the underlying significance – the “bigger picture”, if you’d rather. This post simply chronicled my reaction to the news. What I liked, what I didn’t like. My gut response involved an element of, “Crap, another browser to deal with.” The nuances aren’t lost on me. I promise.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-09-02:/id/98//comment_216 2008-09-02T13:34:27-04:00 2008-09-02T13:34:27-04:00 Chris Shaul http://www.chrisshaul.com <p>It is not just another browser. It is Google’s further move against Microsoft. In the comic book, it talks about operating system features. </p> <p>It seems that to Google, that the web is the operating system. With Google apps, gmail, etc, and now Chrome, you are seeing Google providing the tools and now the infrastructure that the common user needs to be productive.

Or, for that matter, the brower itself. I love what Chrome is bringing to the table. The mixed blessing is in the fact that, assuming Chrome’s user base becomes significant, myself and other web developers will have yet another platform on which to test.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-09-02:/id/98//comment_214 2008-09-02T11:57:34-04:00 2008-09-02T11:57:34-04:00 Jung Mour http:// <p>It may be just another browser, but that’s the beauty in it.</p> <p>If you’re happy with what you have, stick with it. Developer’s everywhere will welcome this browser with open arms. </p>
