Post 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+.

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.

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

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

Downloaded it, tried it, can't really say much good for it.

I'll stay with Firefox.
