Hey guys, a new internet browser has been released by google called Google Chrome an hour or two ago, thought I'd share. It has been build from scratch. instead of using old technology I have been using Firefox and love it but could be a serious contender in the near future. If you're using Internet Explorer you should be shot anyway www.google.com/chrome/It's main features are it security, each tab and window use its own process and so any crashes that may happen will not afect the entire brwoser, jsut that tab. it is much more memory conservative and wont eat more and more memory as time goes on, closing a tab will clear up memory unlike Firefox and that god-awful microsoft piece of crap called Internet Explorer. You can drag the tabs about and out into their own window, the rendering speed of web pages is incredibly quick and so far its a very streamlined piece of kit. Heres their web-comic to explain it all in better detail blogoscoped.com/google-chrome/Until they introduce auto-reload and an add-blocker like I have in Firefox, it wont be my default browser but it looks very very promising. As I said it has only just been released, literally so its a little void of features but give it a try, its really quite a joy to use so far. Let me know what you think [html]hello[/html]

Looks interesting. I'm a devout user of Firefox (I'll never use IE again), and I know you are MrG. I've a great respect for your opinions, so if you ever decide that the new browser is good enough to use over FF, then I'll be tempted to give it a try. Please keep us posted on your views. In the meantime I'm sticking with what I know.

FF FTW! I'm Downloading Chrome now, and I'll try it out. Anything's better than IE, even Opera!

Oh dear. I'm actually on Chrome now looking at this, so I think it will replace IE7 as browser of choice. Actually, I've just discovered using Chrome I can resize the 'Quick Reply' box at the bottom of this page. I like it.
