Google polishes product line with Chrome browser
Google launched its new browser Chrome on Tuesday. This browser is designed to make navigating the internet easier and combined the search engine of Google with a new internet browser. This new browser includes a tool bar that allows you can enter web addresses as well as key words that will be searched through Google's database. Google hopes that this new browser will take some of the market share from Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Google is hoping that the new browser will become most peoples default browser in a few years. The browser has been under development for the past two years and is similar to Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft's Internet Explorer now holds about a 75% market share in the browser market with Firefox holding about 10%. Chrome is hoping to gain a large amount of this share in the near future and this will in turn allow more people to use the Google search engine. Google now holds a 63% market share with its search engine and they hope this new search engine will increase their share by drawing new users to their search engine with this browser. With this release Google's stock increased by $1.96 a share to $465.25. I think this new search engine is a good thing for consumers because anything that makes searching the internet easier will help save time and effort. This new search engine will combined the search engines of Google in a browser format and will allow Google to grow and gain new market share which will allow them to keep developing new technology.
