### What is Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a [cross-platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-platform "Cross-platform") [web browser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web%5Fbrowser "Web browser") developed by [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google"). It was first released in 2008 for [Microsoft Windows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft%5FWindows "Microsoft Windows"), built with [free software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%5Fsoftware "Free software") components from [Apple WebKit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%5FWebKit "Apple WebKit") and [Mozilla Firefox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla%5FFirefox "Mozilla Firefox"). It was later [ported](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ported "Ported") to [Linux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux "Linux"), [macOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS "MacOS"), [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS"), and [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android%5F%28operating%5Fsystem%29 "Android (operating system)"), where it is the default browser. The browser is also the main component of [ChromeOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChromeOS "ChromeOS"), which serves as the platform for [web applications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web%5Fapplication "Web application").

Most of Chrome's [source code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source%5Fcode "Source code") comes from Google's [free and open-source software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%5Fand%5Fopen-source%5Fsoftware "Free and open-source software") project [_Chromium_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium%5F%28web%5Fbrowser%29 "Chromium (web browser)"), but Chrome is licensed as proprietary [freeware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware "Freeware"). [WebKit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit "WebKit") was the original [rendering engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser%5Fengine "Browser engine"), but Google eventually [forked](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork%5F%28software%5Fdevelopment%29 "Fork (software development)") it to create the [Blink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink%5F%28browser%5Fengine%29 "Blink (browser engine)") engine; all Chrome variants except iOS now use Blink.
