Last week, a Google employee launched the WhatBrowser.org Web site to inform users about what a browser is, the different types of Web browsers available to them is, along with tips on how to manage them. Today, Google dispensed with the agnostic approach and championed its own Web browser with this guide on how to use Chrome. I actually created this Chrome tips slideshow not long ago, but this guide is official and has four sections. First up is a tour of the browser, followed by a lesson in browser settings, and an offer to take Chrome for a spin.

We've learned to be skeptical of Chrome OS rumors, but PC World picks up on a manufacturing news tip about at least one netbook manufacturer possibly installing "preview builds" of Google's Chrome Operating System and shipping those devices in late October. While we'd guess that the market for a thoroughly untested Chrome OS on non-name-brand netbooks would be fairly thin, if the report is accurate, we'd at least get to see the ideas behind Google's quick-loading system sooner rather than later. That said, drink this in with a huge grain of salt.
