Google to launch a web browser today to 100 countries, and it will be named Google Chrome. There is a lot of buzz already about this new product and Im sure you have probably already read about it on Techcrunch, AllthingsD, Sizlopedia and more.All of this was just a rumour until it was confirmed by the Official Google Blog.

For a long time now there have only really been 3 key players in the online browser market, IE, Firefox and Safari (MACs). I’m very interested to use this product today and see how it compares to all these other browsers.

For a long time also Google has been funding Mozilla by paying to have their search engine as default in the browser, so if Google Chrome becomes popular and out grows Firefox, will they still pay top dollar to be the default search in Firefox?

Firefox 3 Kills The Competition!!

Firefox 3 RC1 has launched recently and I just want to run through the new offering from Mozilla. With most Crenk readers already using firefox, I thought I would tell them where to head to download firefox 3. Currently the browser is available in 45 different languages and has drastic improvements in terms of memory, performance, usage and speed, compared to the old firefox 2.

Since most internet users arent currently tech orientated, they need to know more information about Firefox and what it can do. Firefox is an internet browser which is similar to Internet Explorer and Safari. However, firefox is a browser that doesnt come with any specific type of computer, but it can be downloaded for FREE by heading to their website.

Firefox has better usage, performance and simplicity compared to its IE or Safari counterparts, and as internet users move into the newer generations, then firefox will become more predominant.

I have been using the new firefox 3 for the past few weeks and am finding it amazing. It is a lot faster than the old version and so much less demanding that IE or Safari. With t-shirts promotion like that, how can you not use their product!
