The browser wars are born again, sound like 2000 to you?
Anyone who was working on the internet back in 2000 will remember the height of the browser wars between Internet Explorer and Netscape. Netscape died a quick death once Bill Gates got serious and Microsoft owned the browser for the next 6 years.
Then came Firefox from the Mozilla Foundation in 2006. With the re-birth of Apple, Steve Jobs and Safari, entered the game.
So who has just launched a new open-source browser? You guessed it, Google has and it’s called Chrome.
It is a significant entry into the market and something everyone will be watching. The NYTimes has a good overview of the implications, but if you’re on a Windows PC, go try it yourself.
Overall this will be a good thing for end users as browser security, privacy and render speed will evolve faster due to the competition for Internet Explorer’s last 7 years of dominance. Let the war begin anew!

Hi
Sill for me , best firefox, it is better than chrome.
Yes, even I observed that netscape navigater has died. I used to work with browsers from 1998. Then after I shifted to fire fox which is comfortable, when opera was launched into market I have started using it and I feel more comfortable using opera rather then any other browsers as of now. This browser is protected by strong firewalls and it’s virus free, it’s easy to operate, we can arrange short-cut’s to url’s which we wan’t , even we can configure our e-mail with opera mail to send and receive e-mails. This are the features availble in opera with automatic updates of opera versions.
