Google Introduces Chrome

Google has just introduced their new web browser called Chrome.

Google also is counting on Chrome to become the linchpin in its effort to distribute widely used computer programs like word processing, spreadsheets and calendars through the Web browser instead of as applications installed on individual machines. If the crusade is successful, it might undercut Microsoft's profits by diminishing sales of its Office suite.

I was reading a bit about it in their Webcomic for Chrome and it seems like a pretty superior browsing experience.  Chrome runs each tab seperately so you won't get a Javascript error that kills all 7 of the tabs that you had open at the same time.  I have been using Firefox recently because it allows you to recover from a browser crash by saving what you had open at the time of the crash.  Chrome just lets you kill the tab without having to restart your browser. I'll download it and playtest it for a few days and see how it goes.
