Google has announced plans to release a new browser to compete with Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox. This comes shortly after Microsoft released a beta version of Internet Explorer 8, which makes it easier to block ads from Google and others. A beta version of the Google browser, called Chrome, will shortly be available for download by Windows computer users in more than 100 countries. According to Google, Chrome will offer features that make it easier, faster and safer to browse the Web.
