Announcement:

Google is going to launch an open source web browser which will compete with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and all the existing browsers. Googlers have claimed that the browser is lightweight and fast, and is fully able to cope with the next generation of web applications that rely on graphics and multimedia


The official announcement was scheduled for September 3, 2008 and was to be sent to journalists and bloggers with a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works 2.5 licensed comic by Scott McCloud explaining the features of and motivations for the new browser.[5] Copies intended for Europe were shipped early and German blogger Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped[6] made a scanned copy of the 38-page comic available on his website after receiving it on September 1, 2008.[7] Google has since made the comic available on Google Books and their site[8] and referenced it on its official blog along with an explanation for the early release
