The California online search firm Google, known for leaving new software offerings in beta, quickly removed its beta tag from its Web browser ‘Chrome’ and put a stamp of approval on it after just 100 days of its release. Sources at the company say ‘Chrome,’ which was launched in a direct challenge to Microsoft’s ubiquitous Internet Explorer, proved its merits in a relatively brief time.

At the same time, Google’s free web-based Gmail service still bears a beta label even though it was launched nearly five years ago. Chrome on the other hand has undergone 15 iterations since its launch with fixes and modifications engineered based on feedback from some of the more than 10 million people worldwide who have started using the browser. Meanwhile, Google and Microsoft have been in an escalating war, with the Redmond, Washington-based software goliath striving to unseat Google as king of Internet search and advertising.
