On the way to Google's attempt of world domination, they just released a new browser called Google Chrome. A very minimalistic internet browser. Looks like IE.
I find it faster than Safari, but it's missing a lot of features. But I find that it's perfect for web applications, so now I don't have to switch over to slow IE to do stuff.
I made this post with Google Chrome. What do you think of it?

Yeah... Google is known for fucking things up like that. Some of their web applications for iGoogle that they created only work on Windows... which doesn't make any sense at all because web applications should work on anything with a browser and shouldn't be OS dependant.

I haven't tried it yet but it sounds good.
Good:
multithreaded browser
faster javascript
based on webkit, so web developers will pay more attention to that
Bad:
may interrupt Firefox's world domination

I like it, it seams as though the webpages are brighter and easier to see.
Very minimal and simple. 8 / 10

It's pretty good. I've been using it to read marvel digital comics, but that's it. Otherwise, I've been using Opera for everything else.

Good god that's fast.
I've learned something new about Chrome, just discovered it while typing this. Bottom right corner of the Reply box are 6 small squares, clicking this will allow you to resize the box. Small and pointless but cool nonetheless.

I was wondering what the hell that was about. Apparently the next version of Firefox will be faster than Chrome. I know this because Digg is currently plugged with articles about Chrome.
Also Firefox fanboys just refuse to let Chrome win.

Firefox will need to offer multi-process browsing to keep up with Chrome and IE8.

I will switch to chrome if it gets either mouse gestures or the ability to have a mouse gesture extension
The multiple process thing would be very useful for me at work as I'm always having to kill the whole browser for no good reason
p.s. I've had the resizable textareas in firefox for ages :p.
