Google makes us happy today!!!

The only info on it is a comic showing the features, the main alteration is that they will run tabs as separate processes and ensure java/html/etc run parallel and not in sequence to prevent hung-apps. I think if they have done all they say they have, it will be faster than a cheetah full of laxatives and encourage new ways of developing content..

However the google, release first, fix later regime might mean its a little while before we see a fully robust version.
 
I'm running it right now and its a dog... Its sending my Comodo firewall crazy too... Hopefully it will sort itself out in a little bit.
 
I may pass on this until the "official" release.

I don't mind beta testing a game, but I'm not going to risk doing so with my browser.

The only problem I have with it is that opening new tabs is pretty slow, but that is explainable due to it launching a new process for each. It is basically safari, but fed steroids for a few months and forced to exercise. It even has the element inspector from safari which I love :P

Now all it needs is adblock plus, mac and linux versions, and a bookmark sync and I will be happy. I probably wont be using it as a primary browser, as I have wayyy to many bookmarks to keep them synchronized between browsers.
 
actually i thought tabs were pretty smooth. also i ahd issues not being able to use rss feeds and .mov plugin is broken
 
I need "no script" for it...

However, this is just another step in Google's "Steps to world domination" plan...and I am so supporting them...
