A lot of security vulnerabilities are coming up though. And I also see they’ve released an updated version of chrome just after one week of the chrome launch. Im sure more updates are to continue.

Speed can only be improved when leaving the cross-platform paradigm, and developing highly specialized code for a specific platform. And, Google does not show apathy for Linux, in no way, but shows sympathy for the majority of today's computer users, working with Windows. @Abhay Kalla:

If so Google would just have released a source code which would be platform independent like other open source software foundations do. It’s been long enough and we still don't have a Chrome browser for Linux. The way Google has done it, as in launching the beta version just for Windows is clearly a step aimed at targeting the mass audience; get them to use Google chrome and making them believes that Google are the best vendors of software available. It’s more like a publicity stunt and is so unlike what google once stood for. I don't understand how they could show such apathy to Linux, the OS they totally depend on for their research, in their server farms, etc. I don’t completely believe that Google’s true intentions are just to improve the current web browsers and make them more efficient to handle Google’s and other apps.

I think your theory has a good chance. It’s certainly not part of the war against microsoft, that’s just insane. I think your theory has a good chance.

I think that what Google really whats is the control of browsers development. Ok, they could try do that with firefox, but doing that they could be accused of abusing or something like that :) Paulo Calcada Hello
