While we currently support cross-browser coding, it's clear that the browser to beat is Firefox 3. But based on the following introductory video, Google is poised to make the Chrome a very important member of their product offerings. Chrome represents an evolution in the now-heated browser market. While Internet Explorer has only begrudgingly been updated to be a little less dangerous to use - it's hardly a testament to MS innovation. With Internet Explorer 8 on the horizon, Microsoft once again has a chance to assert itself into a market it once dominated.That said, here is a great resource that includes some initial speed and compatibility tests between the most recent <available> iterations of each browser.

In the process of expansion, it's entirely likely that Google has a new platform for their hosted apps - and rather than ensure compatibility with the like of Interent Explorer or even Firefox, 'Chrome' will have native support for Google Apps. |
Google once again has broadened its scope into all things Internet, with
