Google Chrome

Just wanted to post a little blurb stating that I downloaded Google Chrome last night. My first impressions are positive overall. As I understand it the browser is built primarily off Webkit, a technology that not only drive’s the Mac OSX Safari browser, but several other Mac OSX products. So far this has not proved to be any issue. In fact I have found that many sites render QUITE faster than Firefox or IE.

Other neat features include the all-in-one URL bar, which doubles as a search tool as well. Tabs are completely free form, and can be easily re-arranged, or dragged to other windows, or as a new window. Tabs also are independant threads of execution, so they’ve built their own “task manager” which allows you to easily kill an offending, crashing tab.

Only time will tell if Google can make this a Grade A browser, and I look forward to seeing them give it a shot!
