It all started day before yesterday, September 1, 2008 with Philipp Lenssen’s blog where he first wrote about the famous chrome release by Google. I am sure you have had your doses of Google chrome everywhere, from your RSS feeds to your twitter. We have had one post on TNerd that gave you insights into the new browser. However, we wanted to bring to a complete perspective on the buzz that’s been created around Google Chrome in the blogsphere. So we have compiled important synopsis from various blogs which have been talking about Google chrome. I am sure you understand that we cannot bring every post that’s been written on chrome. However, we’ll make an effort to give you a picture of the state of blogsphere on chrome. So let’s begin:

As I already said it all began with http://blogoscoped.com/ which started the post with these words:

Google Chrome, Google’s Browser Project

Today there was a comic book in my mail, sent by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classic Understanding Comics.

Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser project. As rumored before under the name of “Google Browser”, this will be based on the existing rendering engine Webkit. Furthermore, it will include Google’s Gears project.

We just know that this was the first blog on Internet that brought the news. Unfortunately we do not know who was second to blog about it. So we are just going to randomly pick other famous blogs.

Let’s see what techcrunch, has been writing about Google Chrome. OMG, in 2 days there are 9 posts and some of them updated very regularly. I think I’ll just put down the titles of the posts done by TechCrunch and move on to other blogs.

There is an interesting post by TechCrunch titled GetClicky Analytics Service Tracking 2% Google Chrome Usage. I think it’s not fair to give a wrong picture to the users with a post like this. The main reason is that GetClicky tracking service that’s being used on very few blogs, cannot give validity to the 2% chrome usage. I mean let’s stop having fancy titles to our post just to fool people into reading them.

ReadWriteWeb also did close to 4 posts since Sep 1 and the most useful and interesting post is Serious Security Flaw in Google Chrome. It talks about how Google chrome could be exploited as it’s using the older version of WebKit which has a reported security flaw.

The other post from ReadWriteWeb on Google chrome are:

Mashable did 4 post since the news of chrome getting launched. The post Google Chrome a Killer Browser Already (screencast) is pretty interesting as it talks about how chrome is faster than firefox. I am not sure if the author, did the comparison with firefox’s clean profile without a single extension. I leave it for the readers to decide what they feel.

The other posts from Mashable are as follows:

LifeHacker has a very decent post comparing the 3 browser for speed on various parameters. You can read the post here. Following are the other posts.

We are not going to pull out posts from other famous blogs. These are the best blogs I am sure you have your copy chrome.

Personally, I think the most important thing missing in chrome is extensions. So for me there is not comparison between Firefox and Chrome. I am not a firefox boy but that’s what I personally Opine.

Also, for some reasons the crash recovery in chrome doesn’t work for me. I am not sure if there are others who have the same problem. Drop in you comments and tell us which of the posts you like most.
