Chrome the new browser
When browser usage is tipping toward to FireFox, Microsoft released IE 8 last week, yesterday Google launched Chrome, formally stepped into the browser battlefield.

What do people say about IE, FireFox and Chrome
Chrome: fast and simple. However, it lacks some key features, such as bookmarking.
FireFox: fast, secure and snappy interface. It started tab browsing, which was adopted by IE 7. The best adds-on to me is the FireBug, which provides a rich set of debugging features.
IE: IE suffers the same fate as other products in the Microsoft family. Many people has a visceral dislike about anything Microsoft. I like it and am happy to be one of the 70% of people who is using Internet Explorer.
What holds in the future?
Rome was not built in one day. Even as FireFox has gradually won over users at the expense of IE, it still has no more than 30% of the market share, Chrome likely has a long way to go.
