More than just chrome...

Right, so I've just had half a day to test and play about with Google's new web browser called Chrome. Without trying to make this sound too much like a review I'll just say this...WOW!

How can a Beta browser be this good? It really is nice to see that there is still some decent development going on out there.

Now this isn't like the other browsers out there; firstly the search and address bar are one, thats right...it took me a while to figure that out, so kudos to Google for that. Secondly the tabbed style browsing is slightly different. Where most browsers tend to keep tabs stored under the address bar, Chrome has placed them at the very top of the screen, so far up that there is no title bar for the window itself! Do I like it though? To be honest I dont know whether I like it better or not, but the fact that it hasn't bugged or annoyed me is good, so technically I should like it but maybe because it isnt a "wow" feature, I wont give it a "wow" applause.

Other than that it's very fast, fluid and based on Safari's open sourced webkit engine. So don't delay and try today!

It can be downloaded at: http://www.google.com/chrome.

If Google can pull this off i'll be an instant switcher (and I've only just switched to Firefox 3!)
