Google Chrome -- a new browser coming (in beta) in a few hours
mitzevo:
first impressions are good, especially for this beta. :Thmbsup:
lanux128:
just as mnemonic mentioned earlier, application shortcuts open in a window by itself without any tabs, urlbar etc and it's not restricted to google apps only. any web apps can opened this way but so far i have only tested with yahoo messenger.

Paul Keith:
I have to say if this browser ever gets ported into Linux, it is a mouse gesture and session away from dethroning IE. This is a really strong first start from Google. The user interface is bare bones but this is like the default look I've been clamoring for Opera to have and I wouldn't be surprised if word gets out that this is the Microsoft OneNotes version of Internet Explorer for those who don't know what a browser is.
It stole or mimicked (I'm still on the fence at this point) what was considered by many a poor design by Opera and turned the address bar below tab bar MDI into something hip and innovative and it manages to cross the look barrier by making it look like IE but not exactly a carbon copy of it that old and new users alike would feel very comfortable with using this browser.
It even has the one click private browsing which I loved in Safari and for basic uses, I find it hard to find fault with this one especially considering that this is basically the 1st beta.
