Google's 'fatality' ?


Google's gone a little further in it's cold war with Microsoft, upping it's digi-nuclear stockpiles with another weapon.

Trying to combat Microsoft IE's 73% market dominance, Google has been backing Firefox, which took over a sizeable 18% of the market. Firefox 3 also ended up being the most downloaded piece of software ever, with over 8 million downloads on its release day.

But, in the wake of recent worries over IE8's capabilities, and what this could do to their business, Google decided that Firefox wasn't enough to keep Microsoft at bay.

Sticking to their policy of take-over-the-internet-by-2020, they've brought out chrome, their next big, and logical step to web dominance. And to be a little cool, they've done up their release notes in a comic book.

This release, however seems to have left a lot of Firefox fans (Me included) feeling a little betrayed at Google's lack of confidence in the Firefox legacy. Be sure to check back here soon, when I benchmark Chrome and the 'fox.
