With Chrome Google can conquer the world
If you were in any doubt as to where Google’s big new focus is, then the advert above in the Metro last week should give you an idea. Google has been relentless in its advertising of it’s Chrome browser across the UK and abroad. Google even suggests you give your loved ones the (gift-wrapped of course) browser for Christmas.
Following my post last week about the new Chrome advert, it seems Google is determined to really push the browser out to a mainstream audience.
Is this final frontier for Google before world domination?
Despite having control of most of what we do in the browser, Google knows that for full technological control over our lives, it needs to own the one thing we need to link the offline and the online – the browser.
And with Google Chrome OS set to launch next year, the rewards for getting this right could be huge.
I’ve been using Chrome on my work PC and it is prett fast, I like the new extensions too (the only aspect that until now was forcing me to cling onto Firefox).
If cloud computing really is going to be a major trend for 2010, then it looks as though Google – and Chrome – is well placed to take advantage. How will Microsoft et al respond?
