Google Chrome is a new web browser from the number one company in search engines, Google.

That being said, is it worth your time to check out?  The “browser wars” that spawned during the Netscape/Internet Explorer days was an ugly time on the Internet as websites fought to figure out how to make themselves look good in both.  This problem still crops up somewhat with Firefox/Internet Explorer/Safari/Opera/Flock out there.  The good news is Chrome is written on the same base code as Safari, so it shouldn’t be too hard for webmasters to get their sites working with this one.

An unusual move here at StarterTech, I’m embedding a screencast of the new browser in use from another site.  This was created by Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins whom I work with over at Mashable.

Mark did a good job of covering the pros and cons of this new tool, but overall it looks promising.  I have been using it for most of the day with little to no problems.  Will it replace Firefox in my life?  For now it won’t due to a lack of addons that I use on a regular basis, but I will be using the two in conjuction when I can.

I will say if you are still just using Internet Explorer, please change.  It is by far the worst browser, and you need to check out alternative browsers for sure.  You could certainly do worse than Chrome, and we will be revisiting this subject as we gain more experience with it.

Have you tried it yet?  What are your thoughts?
