Today Google announced its own web browser, named Google Chrome. I haven't played around with it yet, but I have read through some of the comic book. Without having actually played around with it I am kind of being uninformed while talking about it, but my opinions at this point are:
1. Yet another browser? We already have IE, Firefox, Safari, and a host of other browsers.
2. Yet another browser that deals with javascript differently. I've learned while working on my last few projects that different browsers sometimes handle javascript differently. It can be a real pain, and you also have to test your web application against all of the supported browsers. So I could potentially have more work as a result of this.
3. Will selenium support Google Chrome? If I actually have to do some testing against Google Chrome I sure hope so.
4. Will regular users download and use Google Chrome? What are Google's targets for penetration?
Overall I am skeptical, but anything can happen.
