I just tried Google's new browser... And.. It's awesome!
It runs each tab as a seperate process, which causes the browser to keep running, if a single tab crashes.
Also. You can drag the tabs out of the browser, which will make the tab as a new browser window, which can also contain tabs. And you can move the tabs back/forth from browser to browser.
And I just found out that it has a built-in spelling checker xD. In my native language :D
It also does not need to restart after installing Flash player, etc. xD
Chrome is open source.
EDIT: Oh ya... And it starts instantly.
You can get the BETA at http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=da&brand=CHMG&utm_source=da-hpp&utm_medium=hpp&utm_campaign=da
The only thing that actually looks cool on it is the sites icons on the start-up page. Nevertheless, I'm sticking with firefox.
Works VERY fast, actually.
I'll be using it for graphics and stuff, because of the HUGE page space it shows.
Anyway, I'll stick to firefox for anything else :)
can it do anything better than opera (besides not being boycotted by some page admins)?

I have the same working space on both firefox and chrome...maybe my firefox is special
or I just customized it but let's stay with the "special" thinking.
Damn, Chrome really is fast. Sites which takes both IE and FF seconds, it shows up instantly on Chrome.
Google for president.

I've tried to start 100 tabs all running a youtube video.. Instantly switch, and not even 5% cpu!
PS: How come you're here, and not on msn/xfire?? -.-

"I'm soo populair".
No, seriously, like 30 people talk to me at once when I pop online, so I just start in offline mode and talk when I feel like it. Just talk to me though (even when appearing offline), I might reply ;)
PS. The iTunes soundtrack of Dr. Horrible roxors!

Yes I have:
1 bar for StumbleUpon and other stuff
1 bar for address bar and search and other stuff
1 for bookmarks
1 for tabs (I ALMOST always have a couple open)
And the status bar with another million of addons
That makes it 5 vs the address bar in chrome.

Chrome was just released... No plugins has been made yet.
Even though, i need something that takes very little pagespace. I used IE before, but now i have chrome _^

Wtf i couldn't install flash player on it. How did you do it :).
I had to search for an hour or so to find a direct download link for the executable, since the proxy server at my college wouldn't play nice with the Google installer crapware.
It runs very fast, and I'm loving it. I am doing a review on it for my college newspaper. :)

I do have the same working space with a bunch of tabs open. About everything else, your fault for making it a huge mess out of your browser.

I installed it at work. I spent most of the time looking for either my home button or how to get to bookmarks without selecting the "Always show bookmarks" option.
Also, does it suggest corrections for spellchecking? It didn't seem to when I right-clicked the underlined words.
I was going to say that I didn't see an option for fixing the misspelled word, but I just typed "jaggies" and it suggested at the top of the right click menu "baggies."
Must have a penchant for drugs. :/
well, now that certain 'clause (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/04/google_retracts_lousy_chrome_eula_terms/)' is out of the picture, i'm downloading it now. :P
okay...just tried it and i can't see any speed increase at all.
wtf?

That's because you actually have a decent computer.
The only people that are really going to notice a difference are people with shitty computers.
If your computer is actually decent, then switching tabs should be perceptively instant.
When you see a page being drawn, it's usually because your browser is just drawing the information as soon as it comes through the line.
It usually isn't from your browser taxing the CPU to draw page elements (unless you have a shit computer).
Anyway, about the supposed stability of chrome...
Creating an a href linking to "evil:%" crashes chrome completely. The whole program. Not the tab-only crashes they're boasting.
Also, until chrome reaches the customizability of Firefox, you wont catch me using it.
The only real usability feature of chrome seems to be heavy Google search integration.
I am actually still using FF2, since FF3 doesn't have all the supported extensions I use.
Browser speed doesn't meant shit to productivity in comparison to features like modular UI, heavily customizable tab management, and extension support.
/me has a decent computer ^^
mic, what extensions of yours arn't supported by FF3?
i had the same problem with mine (mouse gestures redux) but managed to find a recode after a whole lot of internet digging :p

TBH, I haven't checked recently and I cba to do it since I have no functional issues with FF2.
Here is a screenshot of my modified FF and a list of the extensions I have.

I really need to go to firefox.
yes you do.
@ mic, i just remembered, i thought you always used opera?
I'm using Google Chrome now, It seems pretty nifty and it is pretty fast. Using it means I have to go through and bookmark everything again since it won't import bookmarks from Opera, which is my preferred browser. Also, being a Google browser, you think it would incorporate Google (or any really) email like Opera does, but I've yet to see the option.

It's a beta.. I don't think it includes mail yet. But it does include google search :P
And I just found out... You can resize any multi-line textbox :D
Does Google Chrome have script blocker ? I use firefox now with noscript and it would be pointless to leave it if this new browser differs only in minor things
Google Chrome is quite nice, I really like the task manager which shows you how much memory each site uses. But I still prefer Firefox 3 since it has really good add-ons. Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 is quite cool too tbh.
