I think this will be a BETA. Open source. This looks like another front on the attack against M$. With Google's money behind it you have to take it seriously. IE 8 is coming out soon as well.

Are Internet Explorer and Firefox ready to do battle with Chrome?
Google announced Monday that it has been hard at work on an open-source browser known as Chrome, a beta version of which will be released in 100 countries on Tuesday.
New features will included "isolated" tabs designed to prevent browser crashes and a more powerful java script engine.
"Why are we launching Google Chrome? Because we believe we can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web," Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, and Linus Upson, Google engineering director, wrote in a blog post.
Google was apparently looking to keep news of Chrome under wraps until after the holiday weekend. A 38-page, online comic book that provided details about Chrome hit the blogosphere Monday morning, but Pichai and Upson said in their blog post that Google had "hit 'send' a bit early" on the web comic.
The comic depicts various Google engineers describing Chrome's features, including the isolated tab idea.
"By keeping each tab in an isolated 'sandbox', we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites," Pichai and Upson wrote.
Having a number of tabs open in a single browser eats up memory. If a browser is running slow, a user's natural inclination is to close a few tabs? In some cases, however, little bits of the closed tabs remain, which eats up space and requires the operating system to grow the browser's address space, according to Google. With Chrome, there will be a different tab for each process, including plug-ins.
"When a tab is closed in Google Chrome, you're ending the whole process," according to the comic. "You can look under the hood with Google Chrome's task mananger to see what sites are using the most memory, downloading the most bytes and abusing your CPU" so you can place "blame where blame belongs."
Google also promised "improved speed and responsiveness across the board."
"We also built a more powerful ********** engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers," Pichai and Upson wrote.
Like OpenSocial and Android, Chrome will be an open source initiative.
"We owe a great debt to many open source projects, and we're committed to continuing on their path," they wrote. "We've used components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox, among others -- and in that spirit, we are making all of our code open source as well. We hope to collaborate with the entire community to help drive the web forward."
The team selected Webkit because it uses memory efficiently, was easily adapated to embedded devices, and it was easy for new browser developers to learn to make the code base work, according to the web comic. "Webkit keeps it simple."
Google recently extended its financial deal with Mozilla until 2011, according to a blog post from Mitchell Baker, chair of the Mozilla Foundation.
Tuesday's beta release will be available for Windows users. "We're hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too, and will continue to make it even faster and more robust," Pichai and Upson wrote.
"This is just the beginning -- Google Chrome is far from done," they wrote. "Google Chrome is another option, and we hope it contributes to making the web even better."

Ok,i'm not even going to try to act like I know anything about this,because I don't. This thing is VERY quick.Incognito mode is great for porn(doesn't log history). I'm guessing it's going to have it's flaws,since it's a BETA version though.

So far looks like it handles memory worse than Firefox (which is still the worst by far of the current browsers).

BUT being open source I'll bet the memory leaks get closed pretty quickly.

I don't like the tab setup but I'm a bottom tab guy so it's just a personal pref.

Other than that looks good so far. Clean & simple interface. Good rendering speed.

Definitely has promise.

No thanks, I'll pass on this one. I'll wait for the other browsers to implement the nice features (sandboxing).

I like Google, but this one's not okay with me. They've already got enough information on you, no need to allow them to be your gatekeeper to the web.

Make sure you know what you're getting. Some points from Be sure to read Chrome's fine print | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone - CNET

- Browser updates automatically . This could be ok, could be not ok, depends personal preferences. I prefer to have control over what downloads and runs. But some people may enjoy not having to worry about it.
"The software which you use may automatically download and install updates from time to time from Google. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the services and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Google to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the services."

- This one is very interesting. Google claims it has the rights to use any content that you post, display, etc. And you agree to this if you install and use the browser.
"By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the services and may be revoked for certain services as defined in the additional terms of those services."

- The license leaves future advertising wide open:
"Some of the services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the services, queries made through the services or other information.
The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the services are subject to change without specific notice to you."

- This one's not in the license, but Chrome's location bar is named the 'omni-bar.' It got this name because it not only finds as you type, it also suggests stuff that you might like, which means something at Google sees everything you type in.
From the Comic that explains Chrome: "[Omni-bar] also offers suggestions for searches, top pages you've visited before, pages you haven't visited but are popular and more..."

I don't like the tab setup but I'm a bottom tab guy so it's just a personal pref.

Other than that looks good so far. Clean & simple interface. Good rendering speed.

Definitely has promise.

I like it! Very quick... Although I got lazy with Firefox and the Mouse Click Shortcuts add on.. Just a right click and up on the mouse and I had a new tab on Firefox... Not on chrome.

Will we see add ons?
