Oh so shiny!

So the prediction turned out to be true after all. But it appears that there was earlier news of it which was more or less a sure shot indication of what was to come.

What am I talking about? What the whole interweb is abuzz about, of course. Google’s shiny new browser named Chrome.

The comic book is sheer genius, and it makes a fine attempt at reaching out to the non-geeks. How much it succeeds, I don’t know.

But for me, Chrome totally rocks. It might even pull me away from my current browser of choice, Safari. The user interface is very well thought of and it really shines at getting “out of the way” and of course, raw speed.

As with Firefox, it’s the plugins that will determine the popularity of Chrome. Let’s see where things go with that. But what is clear is that this is a polished product that has been sweetly developed. And what I’m most excited about is how this is going to be the platform on which the interweb of tomorrow is going to run.
