New Google Chrome Beta Browser is Really FAST!

The new Google Chrome Beta browser is available for download now (from the Google Search page) and it is VERY fast - much faster than IE and a bit faster than Firefox - at least on my machine.

Let the browser wars begin again!

I said the exact same thing earlier today on an SE O forum... page rendering is lightning fast in Chrome.

A lot of SEOs are talking about this, some domainers are kind of upset about the possible devaluing of "type-in traffic" type domains because of Google's implementation of search in the address bar, and some Mozilla fans are pissed. Generally Chrome has not been very well received.

Its nice, but i like FF3 alot better.

It is also very fast.

I REALLY like how it creates a new process for every tab to prevent one site from causing crashes - very nice touch.

I have had issues with sites that are heavily java scripted (aka facebook) other than that it is awesome!
