Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine and application framework. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on 2 September 2008, and the public stable release was on 11 December 2008. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. As of September 2010, Chrome was the third most widely used browser, with 7.98% of worldwide usage share of web browsers, according to Net Applications.[3]
In September 2008, Google released a large portion of Chrome's source code, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open source project entitled Chromium.[4][5] This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and help port the browser to Mac OS X and Linux. A Google spokesperson also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to improve web application performance.[6] The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license,[7] which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and closed-source software programs.[8] Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of open-source licenses.[9] Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but lacks built in automatic updates and Google branding, and most notably has a blue-colored logo in place of the multicolored Google logo.[10]
