images/news/google.jpgGoogle Chrome officially emerged from beta Dec. 11, roughly 100 days after the search engine giant unveiled its Google Web browser.

Google says performance and stability requirements have been met for its Chrome Web browser, which could eventually be the front door to a Google Web-based operating system to challenge Microsoft's Windows hegemony. Key features include fixes for video and audio glitches, a bookmark manager, and privacy controls. In another coup for Google application development, the fastest Web browser becomes even faster to improve users' Web services experiences.

In its first 100 days, Chrome has amassed more than 10 million users worldwide, or less than 1 percent of worldwide browser market share. Although this is just a fraction of what rival browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer (70 percent), Mozilla Firefox (20 percent) and Apple Safari (less than 10 percent) rake in, it is a notable adoption rate for such a young, untested product.

i would really love to use this or "iron", but the lack of ad blocking and java control under these browsers puts me off, though i have found possible "fixes" for at least ads:

there is also a link in the comments section that mentions a host file that is updated regularly, which seems to be a neat alternative to any messing about w/proxy settings, though i can't say either way, as i have not tried them out...heck, i'll put it on...

well, it was a waste of time for me. the proxy app rendered the browsers (chrome and iron) useless...
