for those of us that keep many tabs open at once, having all of them run as a separate process quickly supersedes the memory usage of firefox. the crash protection of running the tabs in separate processes is negligible compared to running a crash manager that restores the lost tabs for you. the only thing i can say that i like so far is that the navigation bar is uncluttered, but i am sure as more and more plug-ins are developed for this platform that will change.

Google Chrome is awesome! I didn’t realise it used portions of Safari and Apple Web Kit until I used that about: thing. But this page loaded fine!

I did notice though that Chrome has issues using SSL via Proxy that requires authentication though…

Google Chrome is just a temp “Hype”, and people need to read the privacy statement, When you install it you “Agree” and Alow Google to use your crash report and other files they need to see whats the problem.

This is done with out a warning. “Well you were warned in the installation”

Above= 0 Privacy

lets talk about what this browser doesn’t have.

Control over javascript and tabs don’t open in the foreground.

Some users may like the novelty but I’ll stick with 2 secure browsers Firefox and Opera instead.
