MS announces IE8 and moments later we have- Google Chrome.
It seems that IE is still not standards compliant (there are conflicting opinions so far), but seems to be running at +/- 50%, but Chrome is claiming 99% out of the gate... They say that testing has been intense, especially on pages with high PR The big schlameel is that each tab will run in a discreet process. Supposed to be out by Tues the 2nd at /chrome Cartoon book www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ Google blog googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html This post has been edited by chrishirst: Sep 2 2008, 06:25 AM

They are talking about the REAL PR which (in theory) are the most linked to pages, which again (in theory) are the pages most likely to be visited by a wide range of people.
So if those pages can be handled by their browser, it should cover most os the bases. |

I'm not too interested at the moment. Quite happy with Firefox.

If it's Safari based, it could be a useful aid when designing on a PC for those that don't have a Mac.

/chrome now live
Nice browser, simple, opens fast... but who needs it?? especially with FF now so well developed, w/ all the SEO plugins... The "seperate process per tab" thing is nice, but rarely does errant JS crash FF anyway Seems very much like FF as far as page presentation |

Actually, I'm using it right now and it does some things MUCH better than Firefox.
I've never liked Firefox. I don't know if I'll like Chrome but it's not nearly as bad as Firefox. |

I have so many FF extensions I use on a daily basis, I can't see switching to something else at this point, unless it somehow imports all the extensions with it.

On Jill's link, leave out the /index.htm, or at least I had to. I've downloaded the beta version and am about to take it for a spin:-)

I took it for a little test run and that baby is fast!!!! I could get used to that as I'm a speed demon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I opened up a second tab and was on the page where there's a youtube video on Chrome and that page crashed. At first I thought, oh well, I'll open it again tomorrow....but only the one tab crashed. It was great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I hadn't realized how annoying it was having IE crash for all my tabs if one tab crashed. I think the speed and the way only one tab crashed is definitely an improvement on IE. I might hold off using it exclusively until they're out of Beta but it looks good to me!
