在他们似乎对Web统治的追求中，Google [NASDAQ：GOOG]刚刚打开了另一个方面：浏览器。以Apple [NASDAQ：AAPL]，Mozilla和Microsoft [NASDAQ：MSFT]前进，他们今天发布了他们的新浏览器的Beta版，称其为Chrome。据报道，Mac和Linus版本很快就会遵循。
Google在其官方博客上声称，他们已经用新的心态建造了Chrome：浏览器作为平台。Since Google is (obviously) betting on a web-based world, where everything from document-editing to photo-tagging to communcation is done inside a browser window, they’ve taken the approach that a browser should be more of a catch-all app window than just a place to visit web pages. To that end, they’ve built a totally new ground-up Java engine, which should allow web apps to run more cleanly. They’re also taking a new approach to tabbed browsing, putting tabs above the title bar, instead of below it. That might be meant to symbolize the independence Google is bestowing each individual tab — each one runs like a separate browser session, so if one crashes, it won’t bring down the other tabs (or the whole app.)
那会成功吗？瑞银的本·夏克特告诉华盛顿邮报尽管Chrome将允许Google推荐其他浏览器并自定义其最终用户体验，但如果Google不将其作为OEM设备上的预安装，它可能会陷入困境。他还提醒我们：“ GOOG推出了许多炒作的产品，这些产品无处可去。”其他分析师提到，Chrome可能是使Google的Android移动操作系统变得更好的垫脚石。
