Hi, Google's new browser Chrome has been launched, but it does not support Google Toolbar, does it indicate that its end of PageRank (PR) ?
yes may be its beta stage, but in my opinion Google would have came out with browser to support all its other products. I guess they might come out with updated version of toolbar with some new technology.
It's in beta and the best browser out there. Such fast. It will start to get slower as new things get added. Like google toolbar of course. I mean pagerank is their greatest invention, not chrome.
It won't mean the end of PR. In fact if anything Google will be using it to further promote it's PR calculation.
PageRank denotes the Value of a website in Google's eyes. Chrome is a browser through which you can surf the web quite smoothly. Toolbar sends the data to Google for usage statistics (Voluntary) Chrome sends the data to Google for usage statistics (Voluntary) Both sends the data so that they can assign proper PageRank to the websites that really deserve them. The fact that Google launched Chrome, according to me, is a big sign that PageRank will stay forever and the accuracy of pagerank just got better!!
The fact that Google Chrome doesn't come with the Google Toolbar doesn't mean anything about Pagerank. I'm sure they will allow plugins to be written, just like Firefox, later on.
Google toolbar is something which simply displays pagerank, you can find out pagerank from many other sources. The reason it doesn't support it is because it is in beta stages, quite obviously.
Chrome is just launched. You need to wait for some time before you will see addons, toolbar etc for Chrome.
I like Google Chrome. It's faster then all the other browsers I've been using before. True, a little PR icon would be cool, but since Google has revised the whole PR system latley, it'll take some time for many sites to re-obtain their new revised PR, just like my Ralf Engel dot Com blog.
finally..as i think few years ago about google.. to create a browsing platform for better searching on teh net. browser - > search engine ...google ownz !
Google didn't create chrome for webmasters alone. They created it for users for now and maybe they will create add ons for webmasters in their next update.
First things first. Chrome is still in beta. It is not the final version. There are tens of other things in the Google Toolbar as well, so why only Pagerank? The question should be does it indicate the end of Google Toolbar? Not Pagerank in specific. I personally think that it is NOT the ended of Google Pagerank or the toolbar itself. -Phultu
