Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google[1] and based on the WebKit layout engine and application framework. The browser was first publicly released for Microsoft Windows (XP and later only) on September 2, 2008 in 43 languages, officially a beta version. Chrome quickly gained about 1% market share. Mac OS X and Linux versions are under development. Recently, in the Chromium project's developer wiki a message was placed that a "test shell" is available to build on Linux. Some have tried this shell, which apparently lacks many features, but appears to function quite well in rendering web sites (including JavaScript).
