Google to Chrome will it kill the user love?

The simple word Google and everyone knows what you are talking about, everyone loves to Google-it! But as other technology companies start moving in on the consumer love, is the love for Google fading?

Technology inspires enthusiasm amongst millions of consumers who love the products that companies like Apple, Nintendo and Sony bring into the market. People like something for nothing and that’s why we have been drawn to Google, we have Google Docs, Google Earth and now Chrome. Another draw is privacy between Google and its user, but is it all getting to much?

Google’s Eric Schmidt said earlier this year he wants the user to be able to ask the question “What job shall I take?” or “What shall I do tomorrow?” or and Google will know you so well that it will give you the answer. But is Google turning into a dominant media giant taking on companies like Microsoft and lose its familiar grounding and user love?

Well we have been waiting all day and now it is finally here, the download for Goggle Chrome, the new web browser from the search engine giant.

Google know what users want in a browser, which is why they have launched a beta version of a new open-source browser: Google Chrome. The world will now see what kind of a job Google can do in the web browser industry.

Google Chrome Review: first impressions not good

Well I have been waiting since yesterday to get my hands on Google Chrome, the search engine giant’s open source web browser. So I downloaded it from Google and then installed the software, and then decided to give Chrome a go. My first impressions are not that good.

So I then opened Google Chrome up and had a little play, and that was when I noticed the first of my problems. Firstly I could not find a button or logo to go back to my homepage, on further investigation it seems that you need to have your toolbar on for the Homepage button to appear.

Then there is the problem with my bookmarks which I imported from Firefox, for some reason I could not get them to show up. No matter what I tried I just could not find my bookmarks.

So what are your first impressions of Google Chrome?

Philipp Lenssen, the man who wrote the article said that until he sees something like a beta release, then he will remain optimistic on Chrome. He did say that if it were true, then Google Chrome would be a logical extension of Google’s web based services.

It does make you wonder what has taken Google so long to come up with their own web browser, what they have done to their search engine shows that they can put their minds to anything. So is Google Chrome the real deal, or just another rumor?
