Just yesterday, the public beta of Google’s first web browser made it online . I’ve been using it as my default browser for a day now, and I love it. The download is less than 500KB. This browser is very lightweight, fast and efficient, but packs many new features (all detailed in the online comic). Chrome’s interface is very clean and minimalistic, yielding a very high amount of screen real-estate to the actual page it’s displaying. [img_assist|nid=31400|title=Google’s new Chrome browser.|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=|height=0]There are no frames in the window, so pages actually extend side-to-side all the way to the last pixel. Tabs, which are now analogous to windows, are isolated from each other in process and memory.
