Google shocked the computing world Sept 2, 2008 when it unveiled Chrome as an alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera browsers.

Google touted the app as a speedy option for Web surfing equipped with a special V8 JavaScript engine. After a slow start, many users began to use the browser in 2009 and into 2010.

Just giving Chrome a try - it seems I already had it on here, but had forgotten about it ... anyway, moving swiftly on.... have just downloaded the latest version - it's certainly speedy, so far.
