I’ve been running Google Chrome 5 for what seems like months now (it’s probably weeks) and it’s by far and away the fastest browser out there. It’s still in BETA testing right now, but i’d imagine it will be going live very shortly…

EU puts the brakes on Internet Explorer
Do you like Internet Explorer? Yes? No, wrong answer. You don’t like Internet Explorer. That’s the message we’re trying to push here in the EU

12 useful chrome extensions
Google Chrome has replaced Firefox as my main web browser. It’s faster, easier to use and is now starting to really dent both Firefox and IE’s dominance. What triggered me in to switching was when Chrome launched their extensions publicly.

get paid to hack google chrome
Google are now offering $500 in cold hard cash to anyone who submits a valid security bug report. If your find is particularly important, the reward could stretch to $1337… (only the techies will appreciate that seemingly random number!).

So if you’re the type of person who regularly discovers loopholes in chrome’s security, then this is your lucky day… If you’re the type of person who reads this and thinks they can discover security loopholes in chrome, then good luck to you too, you’ll need it 
Google have admitted they’ve blatantly ripped the idea from Firefox. Firefox offer the exact same $500 reward for bugs and have done for quite some time. You would have thought Google would up the pay a bit just because they can, but no… it seems discovering a hole in security is worth just $500. I’m sure the real hackers out there could make far more than that by actually exploiting the bug or selling the information on to someone who could exploit the bug.
Still, it’s good to see rewards like this in place… it can only help with security in the long run.

chrome 4.0 is upon us
Google Chrome has grown up and is now at version 4.0. Up until now, it’s been a fast reliable browser but lacked the bells and whistles firefox had.
Chrome 4.0 brings with it a 42% performance boost over the old Chrome (which was faster than most browsers anyway!) plus it brings with it extensions – which means it can now go head to head with firefox’s add ons.
Chrome is now a serious browser and firefox should be very worried – i would be if my name were firefox. Chrome’s speed and simplicity is what makes it a threat to firefox. Despite the fact our computers & internet connections are more powerful and faster than ever before, speed is still a huge factor in winning a head to head battle with a rival application.
Up until now i’ve used chrome exclusively on my netbook (it was much faster than firefox to start up and to render pages) and i’d only use it on my desktop for web development / testing, because i needed several firefox add ons. That will all change shortly though. The only thing chrome is missing now for me is ‘firebug’ which is an essential add on for any webmaster who designs / develops / tests web sites or applications.
But if you’re just a regular surfer and don’t need any specific addons for firefox, then i’d recommend you switch to Chrome right now. The time has come. Chrome is now a superior browser to firefox for the average user.
It is quite literally a ‘google’ browser so you know it’s simple, fast and ultra reliable. It’s too early to write firefox off as they’ll have firefox 4.0 coming out shortly, but i feel they’re already losing ground which they’ll never be able to make back up… you cannot allow google to get ahead of you in any department and expect to catch up with them. It’s like giving usain bolt a head start in a 100m sprint.
Right now, firefox has more add ons and add ons which have been built exclusively for firefox. That’s a major plus point for them. However, firefox is slower and fatter (interface wise). Unless it sheds some serious weight very soon, it’ll soon be in a retirement home with IE, reliving past glories until it’s inevitable demise
