Both Safari and Chrome are based on WebKit. KHTML is old rendering engine from KDE project, which Apple took and created WebKit.

Firefox will very soon get some bad press coverage and those who pushed it (opensource community) will slowly turn it’s back on it (due Mozilla Corp. actions aginst that same community).

basically, google supported firefox so far (toolbar and stuff), so i wonder what’s gonna happen to firefox now. chrome is based on KHTML engine (which is used in Safari as well) but is no better engine than Gecko 1.9 – a simple look at Acid3 can prove this…

2 days after release Chrome already has bigger market share than Opera. 2 days after the release of pre-release beta.

Everybody is aware of IE. People use it cause they don’t know better. But IT is developing each day and nobody can tell how long we will use operating system.

Google already offers lots of on-line applications. And Google is very powerful company.

Mozilla’s Ubiquity is very cool stuff, and it does exactly that what’s Google is after – shifting focus from OS to Internet.

This is interesting... John Lilly, chief executive of Mozilla Corporation, has blogged about the launch of Google Chrome. Basically he welcomes the competition and says:

"Chrome will be a browser optimized for the things that they see as important, and it'll be interesting to see how it evolves."

As a Firefox advantage over Chrome he also mentions new Mozilla projects - Weave, Ubiquity, and Firefox Mobile. More on John’s Blog.
