Google has finally released the full version of Google Chrome browser and yanked the ‘beta’ label off it. Google Chrome 1.0 is available for download and installation on Windows.
Meanwhile, Google is reportedly working for Chrome support on Mac OSX and Linux platform.
It may be termed as an achievement for Google engineers who managed to release the first finished version in a span of 100 days even as its major product, Gmail, is still in the beta stage.
Google has rolled out 14 updates since its launch. Post-launch we shared Chrome’s first impressions.
In terms of browser market share, Chrome’s market still remains under 1 percent as per Net Application s reports. Now that it is out of beta phase, PC makers might be swarming Google for deals to sell their system with Chrome pre-installed.

IT1999:
I use Firefox, and find no reason to replace it with Google Chrome, althought installed one in my laptop for test.
If Google opens more, and more Addons, maybe it’s a competitor to Firefox.
The most considerable reason that I use Firefox is two Addons, one is Foxmarks, the other is IE Tab.
Can Google do same thing?
The answer is YES to the first one, but Google abandoned similar project(I remembered).
The answer is NO to the second one. Why? Why does Google generate a web browser?
Can Google Chrome do same thing as IE6? It’s a dream, and need application vendors support it.
Maybe Google Chrome need beat Firefox first, then something will change, and we’ll not need IE6 any more. This is what I’ve wished.
