CloseI wonder how long it has been released. I barely heard it about it today on the radio and I was curious if anyone has used it yet. For those who were in the same boat as I am prior to this morning, Chrome is a new web browser released by Google. I've heard a few good reviews about it, but better to ask someone who's personally dabbled with it themselves. I doubt I would change out of FireFox and use it, but I am curious if its any good or not anyways. :P
Its just a early beta like Internet Explorer 8. It runs a bit slower than firefox but I like the way that it handles tabs. Each tab is like a seperate browser window with its own bookmarks,address/search bar, etc., and it has a grouping system for related tabs. There's also some kind of thing were you can save tabs as a standalone browser or something.
I like Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 (not 2) better though.

It was just released this morning at 11:00 PDT-ish, I believe. Yeah, it's an early beta, but I've all but switched over entirely to it already based on what I've seen--I'm making this post in Chrome, actually. It seems faster than even Opera and Firefox to me, and the way it handles memory per-tab is a big step up from those two. The interface is so beautifully minimalistic, too!
I'm really digging it. The only complaint I have so far is that it doesn't have gesture-support yet. I'm so used to using Opera's back and forward gestures at this point that I've forgotten how the other 98% of the market browses the internet.
All that said, I don't think Chrome is meant to be a real competitor to the other browsers. I think it's basically just a proof of concept for a bunch of Google's web technologies that they're showing off to make other browsers implement them so that Google's web apps can rely on them being there. They made it open source and their little introductory comic (drawn by Scott McCloud, no less) makes special note of the fact that they encourage other browsers to steal Chrome's features.

I thought it looked great, but I haven't tried it. I have no real reason to, Firefox is good enough for me.
