On January 25, Google released a new beta version of its Chrome browser to it’s Windows user base. The two most noticeable changes is that it now allows the use of extensions as well as a bookmark sync feature.

Extensions in Chrome are pretty nifty. They offer a one-click installation method and the browser doesn’t even need to be restarted for the changed to take place (are you taking notes Mozilla?). But this is nothing OS X and Linux users should be jealous of… since they got extensions back in December.

Our colleagues over at TechCrunch are reporting that Google is holding a special event tomorrow (11/19) that revolves around its Chrome OS.

The plan is to give some technical background information as well as show off some demos, we’re told. More notably, they will be giving a “complete overview” of the new OS, which they say will launch next year. [src: TechChrunch]

Could we finally be getting some juicy details about Chrome OS? Tune back in tomorrow to find out.

The gold standard in the browser world: Internet Explorer. Some of us may want to puke in our mouths hearing that, but its true, the statistics don’t lie and according to w3schools.com, last year IE accounted for an average of 57.88% of browsers. Of course Mozilla Firefox is next in the lead at 34% and the good news is this year so far we have seen Firefox increase by at least 10%.

We have all seen Google come out with great services and success of these can even be shown by the company’s stock price of 315.76 (up 5.18% even with the current market status). Chrome currently accounts for 3.1% of the market and that is just while it is in its beta stage. That is more then Apple’s Safari (2.7%), which has been released for a good deal of time now.
