Google Chrome Review

I am going to keep this short and sweet.

- Minimal interface giving more real estate on desktop screen

- Individual tabs run in their process, so if one fails it does not affect another

(But try this and see what comes up  

Type this into a Chrome tab’s address bar :%

- On startup it shows you your “most visited sites”

- Tabs can be droped onto desktop (each act as the browser)

- Tabs are grouped together, so if you open a tab from another one, it opens next to it and not at the end

- Omnibox = Search box + Address bar

- supposed to work beter with javascript sites (futuristic???)

Cons

- All tabs shown, not hidden like in Firefox

- It is definitiely slower that FirefoFirefox and Safari
