What do you think of Google Chrome?
How will the new browser fare against the host of web browsers we already have?
Here's the Google comicbook overview of Chrome: Google Chrome

I've had a good play around with Chrome, and as far as an early release Beta goes, I'm pretty damn impressed. The speed of the JavaScript engine is fantastic (although Mozilla claims their upcoming JavaScript engine will be quicker). I love tabs being seperate processes with different memory spaces: fantastic idea. WebKit is a solid browser base, apart from the carpet bombing flaw that they haven't yet fixed. Incognito (read: porn mode) works very well too. Obviously, it's open sourced too. I hope that their implimentation of plug-ins is a solid as Firefox's and that they fix their EULA, which currently states that Google own the whole internets. If so I may have to make the switch perminently. Side: Swim

Being so late to the market it will be compared to more mature products, fairly or unfairly that is a handicap. I like it but its nothing great and the only benefit I can notice is speed which is only meaningful if using the browser with web apps. A normal page can take 2 or 1.5 seconds to load, doesn’t make a difference to me. Web apps themselves are not there yet in my opinion so a review of Chrome will have to wait for web apps…if that make sense. http://www.webicalsolutions.com/ Side: Bulk domain registrations
