It's a little hard to believe, but it's been three years to the day since Google first launched its Chrome browser in September 2008 (sure, we found out about it a few days early due to a leaked comic book of all things, but September 1 was the first day you could download the Windows beta).And wow, has Chrome come a long way. Around its first birthday it had reached its third version release and was doing well on Windows, but there was still no Mac or Linux release. By its second birthday, it was up to version six with support for Mac and Linux.These days, Chrome is a powerhouse. It's running on six-week release cycles so new features are getting pushed out at a rapid pace (I'm currently running the version 14 beta). And while the browser continues to add key features like print preview and the nifty 'Instant Pages' on Google search, it still feels lightweight and snappy. According to recent stats, Chrome already has around 22% browser marketshare (according to the same report, Firefox has 28% and IE has 42%).
