Google ChromeGoogle Chrome is now live.  Google released the beta version  for Windows last Tuesday, September 2 while they are still in the process of developing this browser for other Operating System like Linux and Mac OS X.

Based from the comic book explaining the browser,  Google wants to start from scratch and integrate all the things needed by the different web applications and internet users.  The primary goals of Google for this new browser are the following:

  • Stability of the browser
  • Faster speed
  • Security
  • Clean, simple and efficient user interface

Google also answered some questions that Google Analytics users might ask and here’s an excerpt from the Google Analytics Blog:

Q. Can I track Google Chrome visitors to my website properly?
A. Yes - visitors who use Google Chrome and visit your site will be tracked by Google Analytics just like other visitors. The only exception is when Google Chrome users activate incognito mode within Google Chrome. When a user goes to your website, turns on incognito mode and returns to your website, they will not be counted as a return visitor, but rather a new visitor. This is similar to what would happen if a user actively clears his or her cookies.

Q. Can I look at my Google Analytics reports in Google Chrome?
A. Yes, definitely. Google Analytics reports look beautiful and load nice and fast in Google Chrome!

Q. Will I see Google Chrome listed as a browser in my Google Analytics reports?
A. Yes, very soon. We’ll let you know immediately once the change happens.

You can download the Google Chrome browser here.
