Sergey Brin was mis-quoted in the referenced article. If you actually listen to what he said, he said the browser would probably be “chrome-lite”, not “chrome-like”.

that chrome icon looks a lot like samus “the hunter”, which is sweet and of course something all good people can relate to!

the fact that Google is preparing to inject its own proprietary web browser into its mobile OS is pretty big news.

Chrome is not proprietary. It is open source under the BSD license.

There is absolutely no reason why a mobile version of Chrome shouldn’t be on the first Android phone in this case, the HTC Dream. Come on Google, your new Chrome browser is excellent but you need to make sure you include Chrome on the HTC Dream. Also, Chrome needs plugins, themes, and extentions BAD…

To the best of my knowledge, there were no decent Webkit based browsers for windows until Chrome.
So wouldn’t releasing it on a Mac be kind of redundant? Safari already uses Webkit as its rendering engine.

It would be like a Firefox/Camino thing.

Zach, a little too excited there in the last paragraph. It is a browser, a good one but its still a browser.

As a mac user I’m with MadMike, I’m done with it until they put out a mac version and adblocker.

Okay. Chrome was cool and all for about 15 minutes. I’ll come back to it when it comes to Mac OS X and has an adblocker.
