Google's 'Chrome' is Tarnished
Friday September 5, 2008
Google is jumping into the browser war. Chrome, the new web browser from Google, is set to take on Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and others. The current release is only a Beta version.

That said, with the state of malware and the Internet and the fact that they themselves have been targeted and victimized by various DoS (denial-of-service) and XSS (cross-site scripting) attacks, you would expect that security would be an integral part of the product from the ground up. If that is the case, it seems they may be missing the mark with some of the code.

I am more than happy to keep using Firefox don’t really feel need to change don’t think anything that google chrome does will change my mind
years ago started out with Netscape, moved on to I E, then Sea Monkey when Netscape became unsupported,
Moved on to Firefox and now using Chrome.
I like the tabs on Chrome which allows me to move from one page to another and not lose any info including a composed e mail like this.
I like the Incognito window, no history no trace of ever opening
