Technology News : What's the number one followed by a hundred zeroes called? A Googol. That was the inspiration behind the word, Google. Now, everybody's favourite search engine is launching another blockbuster for the web. 
When people say web browser, the first thing that pops in everyone's mind is the Internet explorer. However, this might change soon for Google has just released Chrome, their take on what a web browser should be.
And they have chosen a maverick way to announce it. A comic strip to explain the billion dollar product.
Google claims Chrome will be faster, less crash-prone and more secure than anything on the market yet.
Like Firefox and Opera, it will use tabs but they will be above the address bar, not below it. The address bar will be intuitive, completing addresses based on your previous searches or what's currently popular online.
A speed dial feature will display the most-visited pages and recent searches on a corner of the screen.
Finally, just like the latest Internet Explorer 8, Chrome's privacy mode prevents web activity from being recorded.
Chrome also has an open source which means one can add applications to it, if you know programming that is.
So will Chrome be the answer to your browsing woes? Well first, it has to work. The rest will be decided in the coming months.
