With some surprise today i was reading about Googles new web browser on a
general news site
As far there is only a comic released about it and google announced to put a
beta downloadable for today. First Official document was
a comic describing the Browser Development and features.
Google gived official reasons for the Browser that they were afraid that Microsoft could integrate it´s search engine more to the Internet Explorer, but Google was already founding millions to the Firefox foundation.
So maybe their real intense was to integrate there services to a browser in a way which would be too much for the Firefox Browser.
If you take a look at the comic you seem a new service of malware of fishing detection, of cause in principial it is not a bad thing if your browser warns you if a site is malicious or not, but it is also mean that someone in this case google is deciding which sites are good and which one are bad. This mechanism could be easily used to determine sites as "bad content" maybe becouse of harmful information like porn to children or gouverment critical sites to chinese people.
So if google is able to put there browser as a leader out to the web they would not only be able to control which search results a user is getting, they also might have control over what the user is browsing that might be an dangerous point of information control.
In further surely they will use it to put own services like youtube, orkut, google search, google mail more in front to other party services wich will extend their domination on market.
At all the technical concept of the Google Chrome Browser doesn´t seem that bad, so i would test it out at least i would have to to see my sites working on it if they are getting a wide market range. But finally Googles Chrome Browser has one target, more domination on the web. It is not grabbing for IE users only but also for FireFox users and trying to bind web users to Googles services.
Maybe google browser is just a first part and soon they are going to release a Google OS, maybe a slimed down Linux or BSD mostly optimized with a simple window manager for use of Google APS and Google Chrome Browser.
