Google Chrome
Google launched a web browser, called Google Chrome. After leaving it open for ten minutes, it's only using 35mb of RAM, with Firefox I'd be at 100mb+.You can check it out here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/ ... owser.htmlDownload: http://www.google.com/chrome/thankyou.h ... installed=

Re: Google Chrome
For some reason the download isn't working quite yet, not sure why.
Also they made a comic explaining why it's better than everything else.

Re: Google Chrome
Read the whole freaking comic... I have to say that was an amazingly effective way to explain their application. I might use it.

Re: Google Chrome
I must say the comic seemed a little biased, effective though. Trying Chrome now.

Re: Google Chrome
Downloaded it, tried it, can't really say much good for it.
I'll stay with Firefox.
