I read the “comic book” on it yesterday. It’s an intriguing idea. Where do you get it?

I am trying it as of this moment, and it does seem to be fast, secure, and crash-resistant.

Disregard my last question. You can download it here (Windows only, currently).

I will wait for it to be thoroughly scrutinized for “spy ware”-like function. I know there is some of that everywhere but I soooo do not trust Google.

trying it here, but I’m missing a few things. Where’s adblock? firebug? flashblock?

Sounds good, as long as they don’t track what you do.

;)

I like firefox a LOT but I’m always willing to look at the new models.

It also spams the windows task manager with 10 instances of chrome.exe (in my case with 8 tabs open).

I have no idea what “Google Chrome” is. How about posting some content to what this thread is about.

I’m hoping its not loaded with tracking stuff.

Its fast though. Blazing fast. Two to three times faster than firefox fast. Displays complex pages in a second or less. Some that take firefox 3 seconds to properly process.

I just d/l’ed and installed it after I got pinged to this thread.

First website I went to was Hotpads.com, a housing listing site with a google maps mashup.

Chrome instantly crashed trying to zoom in on a google map screen.
LOL.

oops.

350,000+ page faults in under 5 minutes, and it’s grinding my single core AMD San Diego 2200+ CPU to death.

If you are using a supported OS, you should see a download button at the top right. If not, you will see a Sign Up Now button to sign up for a notification when it is available.
