google-chrome.pngI mentioned Google's browser yesterday. And I downloaded it a little bit ago. I've only visited a few sites, but so far it performs pretty well. I haven't encountered anything yet that makes it a Firefox killler. (I miss All-In-One-Sidebar), and I'll probably stick with Firefox. But it's a nice clean alternative, and I like the idea that each tab runs as a separate process. That way I can kill one tab if it gets hung up without killing the whole browser. I'll continue to play with it, and it will probably become my second browser. Internet Explorer just got demoted.

If you're interested in trying it, here's the download link.

I downloaded the Google Chrome and it seems to worlk good and doesn't crash.

it's time for MS to overhaul the IE.

MS just released IE 8. I don't know how good it is, but at least it's newer.

i've been using the chrome lately and I find it faster than firefox. there are still some bugs but knowing the google technology, it won't be long for them to perfect this nifty browser.
