Google launches web browser with privacy mode

Google will release an internet browser called Google Chrome today that could challenge the dominance of Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox on consumer desktops.

The browser is open source and therefore modifiable by users or other companies, and is designed to be more stable and secure than other browsers.Like Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3, Google Chrome will offer a mode of use that is designed to protect users' privacy."Google Chrome has a privacy mode.

You can create an 'incognito' window and nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer," said Google in its introduction to the browser, which takes the form of an online comic book.
