New Open Source Browser Combines Simple User-Interface with
Sophisticated Technology
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) today launched Google ChromeTM,
a new open source browser intended to create a better web experience for
users around the world. Available in beta in more than 40 languages,
Google Chrome is a new approach to the browser that’s
based on the simplicity and power that users have come to expect from
Google products.
In the early days of the Internet, web pages were frequently little more
than text. But today the web has evolved into a powerful platform that
enables users to collaborate with friends and colleagues through email
and other web applications, edit documents, watch videos, listen to
music, manage finances and much more. Google Chrome was built for
today's web and for the applications of tomorrow.
“We think of the browser as the window to the
web – it’s a tool
for users to interact with the web sites and applications they care
about, and it’s important that we don’t
get in the way of that experience," said Sundar Pichai, Vice President
of Product Management, Google Inc. "Just like the classic Google
homepage, Google Chrome has a simple user interface with a sophisticated
core to enable the modern web."
Making the web experience better for users
Google Chrome was designed to make it easy for users to search and
navigate the web for the content they’re
looking for.
-
A combined search and address bar quickly takes users where they want
to go, often in just a few keystrokes.
-
When users open a new tab in Google Chrome, they'll see a page that
includes snapshots of their most-visited sites, recent searches and
bookmarks, making it even easier to navigate the web.
Google Chrome was engineered to deliver a seamless web experience for
users.
