Chromed Out... the New Google Chrome Browser
I recently installed the new google CHROME browser. I was a bit hesitant but with everyone that google does, I am a bit curious and had to try it out. I must say, I LOVE IT.
It's incredibly fast and the skin is very simple and clean. There are plenty of bugs (they should have hired me for QA) and I think those bugs will work themselves out once they release their main version. I am testing out the beta so bugs are expected.
Some of my favorite features:
My recommendation is that you download Chrome and play with it. You may find yourself launching it more than you did your previous browser. Microsoft also has plans on releasing a new version of Internet Explorer (IE 8) so it'll be interesting how many features Google and Microsoft rip from one another. Competition brings out the best in products!!!

Some of my favorite features:
- Crash Control: rather than have the entire browser (and all your tabs) crash, the Chrome browser only crashes the problematic tab content, not the entire application. This is sweet.
- Easy bookmarking
- Same commands as Firefox and IE make transition to chrome easy
- Tab dragging - very cool
- New tab page contains most frequently visited pages in modules. Love how you can just click on one and be in the page....
