What is the hype around Google Chrome

Yes it is an important milestone for Google. For a company that makes almost all it's revenue out of Web naturally wants to build a web browser. I liked the reason why they started this project. Being a Google fan, I liked the clean L&F as well as making the tab, a first class entity.

But what is it for the Internet as a whole? Did this release really revolutionalize the Web? It is making an already existing product even better. Firefox did that already before bogged down by the heaviness of the plugins and memory leaks. Firefox 3 is better. IE is improving. Safari is cool. And Opera etc are having their own share however little it might be. But the whole blogosphere is gaga over this release which seems odd. Now it seems to justify all the mileage iphone got. Well I will also blog about my new iphone..that is a separate post.
