    man - I've had this for 2 months now, old news ......

    hehe - yeah looks good, very quick and snappy, great screen area. FF3 has given me many headaches with websites not loading / timeouts etc.Am using this as default to see how we go - it is *beta* so I expect problems on the way.

    It seems ok fast enough same as IE7 64bit for me.

    They have removed the clutter at the top compared with IE and FF but apart from that I don't see much difference

    All though its supposed to be good for JS / AJAX related sites

    They nicked the idea of thumbnails of most popular sites displayed when you open a new tab from an FF extension that I used a while back. Was a great idea.

    Oh, the 'simpler downloads' feature is another FF add-in.

    Interesting move from google if they have secured these plugins from FF's battleground.

    The only things that this brings to the table are the new javascript engine and running each tab in a separate sandboxed process - both of which should have been done a long time ago.

    But there are still major problems left unaddressed - like plugins being able to punch through the sandbox.

    I'm hoping these two will be adopted and improved upon by other browsers. Other than that, don't see it making a huge impact right now.

    It seems much quicker than both IE and Firefox for me, no major problems yet.

    I imagine the uptake will be quite high now, and hence Richards original post, as I noticed it advertised on the main page of google.

    No Linux version yet, so no opportunity to try it myself, but I see there's already a PoC DoS that crashes the whole browser - something the architecture is specifically designed to avoid.

    That's been a feature of a Safari for a little while now - http://img.skitch.com/20080903-1uukn...kx5it494t9.jpg

    Might give Chrome a go today - sadly, needs Windows at the moment.

    Some entertaining reading, but going by most of the legal "stand ups" in court with M$ and the like, don't think it's got a leg to stand on!

    Much much better when it comes to Ajax than any of the current crop of browsers - our traffic system uses Ajax extensively for a lot of data display and Chrome is noticeably faster. Biggest advantage over FF is that it doesn't hog anywhere near as much memory.

    The EULA is a bit interesting though, although probably easy to get around, "Sorry, the IP rights belong to my employer as I was posting in their time, and they don't grant me the right to assign those rights".
