In case you’ve missed the news, Google has released their very own web browser called Chrome. I downloaded it yesterday after I had checked my Google Analytics and saw that at least several people using Chrome had visited my website. After I did a quick check to make sure that my blog didn’t look like an unholy mess in Chrome, I played around with it for a bit and found it to be a pretty nice, simple browser. Once big flaw for me is that there’s currently no version for Mac, but apparently they’re working on that. I hadn’t had a lot of time to play with it, but it looks to be a nice browser so far (other than that Windows only thing).

Although we all have our favorite web browsers, whether it’s Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, whatever, remember that it’s a good idea to make sure that our websites look good in as many as possible. Remember that there may be some differences in how some browsers display your website, so you should try to check this out instead of waiting for someone to tell you that your website is broken when they look at it using Internet Explorer. I wrote about the importance of this in response to a reader question a while back. You can check that post out here.

Another thing to remember is that web browsers aren’t solely just for computers anymore. If you’re one of the lucky ducks that has an iPhone or a cell phone or a Blackberry in which you can surf the web with, then you’ll know that websites also need to be designed to that they look good for people using mobile devices to surf the web. If you want to see what your browser would look like on an iPhone, you can go to Testiphone.com, type your web address and find out.
