so google is about to launch their own web browser. In fact by the time you read this it will probably already be launched. They've got some great ideas. If you find that boring some of the high points are:
tabs within your browser are individual processes. that means when you close a web page out, there is no residual garbage from that page still tying up your computer. if you're like me and leave a browser open all day and visit tons of pages without restarting...every once in a while your browser will crash because of all the garbage. this will be more stable.
this also means if one web page crashes, it doesn't tank your browser, just that page.
you can look in their 'task manager' and see which pages are eating away at your memory.
it will be faster. awesome.
knowing google, it will probably look pretty awesome, too.
This first version, unfortunately, appears to be only for windows users, but hopefully the mac version follows shortly.

i downloaded chrome. in fact, i'm using it right now. i'm not nerd enough to know a whole lot of different between this and firefox. i like the homepage with my most visited sights, and how the address bar doubles as a search bar. but it still has a few kinks to work out (eg, doesn't work nicely with all sites--especially those written for ie).
