I am still curious if the launch of Chrome was something “unintentional”. I wrote a little piece of article about this, called Google’s Chrome, a coincidence?.

I also kept a log on how Chrome evolved from search engines point of view.

Thanks,
TraiaN

But I actually like Chrome, it's very robust.

Just run chrome_patch.exe. It will modify chrome.dll to fix the issue.

Compare to the others internet browser,Chrome apparently take a high position level. toptenreviews.com had reviewed & done the survey and the result is Chrome take 2nd position between Firefox 3 at 1st & IE 8 at 3rd position As a new comer, Chrome is good and its right, I’d tried it by myself.

I was positive Ronald would have put something together for us by now or Rsnake would have found a post in something bad about the whole Google influence... but nothing. I guess its just a matter of time before ppl get through with analyzing the source code and bam, we will have a flood of 0days. Anyways atm, the 1 common theme I'm seeing from the bugs coming out is that there doesn't seem to be enough data validation (i.e.checking string lengths etc) in its routine processing which seems to be cause for most issues. Finally, I plan to document all the bugs/spoilts for Chrome as they come out and you can keep up to date on them here - http://chromekb.com/vulnerabilities/ I can’t believe how quiet all the browser bug hunters are at the moment.

I can't wait to see the final addition of this browser maybe a darker skin and some new add ons and perhaps a spell check. If so I will be using this browser alot. Keep it up Google!
