Anyone else trying the new browser by Google?
http://gears.google.com/chrome/?hl=en Certainly loads web pages a lot faster than IE. I just downloaded it to give it a try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGmO7Oximw8

Been using it since I got home today, seems alot faster. I don't like the lack of an add blocker like firefox, but why would google let you block google adds?
I'll play with it for a few days and see.

I'll play with it for a few days and see. It does have the pop up blocker and I actually like to see some of the ads.

Wow, this Crash Control is cool.
You can check how many resources each web page is using, by right clicking the top of the window and select task manager. Memory use and plug-ins appear seperately, and you can close tabs that are misbehaving by clicking end process from inside ttttttttth~error~dit dit FffFFfffffbuzzzzzzert fit tit tit //smolder BANG

I haven't tried the Chrome but when I had the Google toolbar it really slowed down my computer. Ever since I uninstalled it I am running faster. If you down load the Google Web Browser do you have to accept the toolbar? Anyone.
