Google Chrome is finally upon us (released today). Google has finally joined Mozilla and other Open source browsers in the browser wars. We also know that IE 8 will be out soon, so Microsoft and Google will be at it again. So why is Chrome significant. For one Google gets to attract more eyeballs to its web services. If you think about it, Google has been methodically working towards its plan to dominate the WWW, and Google Chrome is another piece of the puzzle. Also, IE 8 is going to threaten Google’s ability to watch our every activity, so Google is going to muddy the waters by introducing its own browser (god know how much information Google has gathered from its poor users with or without them knowing).

I am interested to see if Chrome will give us SEO built-in options such as Google SEO ranking toolbar and other features beyond what is offered with plugins for Firefox. I personally don’t mind sharing my information with Google (unless I want to keep them a secret which then I will use another service). For me personally, it will take a lot to switch everything from Flock to Chrome. It should not only be SEO friendly but also SMO friendly, and I just can’t see that happeneing when the program is still in early beta.
