With the IPL broadcasting (deferred) live on YouTube, the Twenty20 bug also seem to have bitten Google Chrome.
Came across this online ad for Google Chrome:

Google has pumped up advertising for its new baby - Google Chrome via its Adwords channel. It is also promoting the product through YouTube and also LinkedIn (amongst others).
So this implies that Google (obviously) wants the world to use its Chrome browser. But it seems that the guys there in Mountain View are themselves yet to get used to their very own web browser and are still relying on Firefox for travelling across the World Wide Web.
I stumbled across this browsing through Google's Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide [PDF link] (Dated November 13, 2008) [Via] and found that one of the screenshots (on page 3) that the good guys used to make things easier for us has a tiny but very identifiable Firefox logo. That can mean only one thing - Google still uses Firefox! And that is a good thing. Even Bill Gates might be.
To give them the benifit of doubt, they might be working on a Mac (I never worked on that much) and Google is yet to release a Mac-compatible version of Chrome. Therefore Firefox.
There has been a lot of excitement around Google Chrome (this is the third Chrome related post on this blog). I've been using it since yesterday, but it still has a long way to go before it can displace Firefox as my default browser.
Last night at it just hanged and I had to manually end the process and today I got my first Google Chrome crash message.
Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed. Restart now?
I was just curious of how the traffic analysis tools identify the new web browser - Google Chrome - and how many visitors of this blog are using it.
But couldn't get the answers as it seems that both StatCounter and Google Analytics (they should have) recognise Google Chrome as Safari. 
Though the browser detect utility gives a positive match.
I believe this will be fixed soon.
I have a thing for comics and also for new web utilities.
Google mixes both to announce the of launch its new web browser Chrome. The beta version is expected to be released today.
On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.
