Google Chrome! Google’s web browser

Google has released their new web browser (Chrome) out into the wild.

You can download it from here: http://www.google.com/chrome

My impressions so far:

  • It ‘feels’ a lot quicker than the other browsers I normally use
  • I like the ‘tab’ metaphore it uses for all the browser functions, I think it keeps your display neat and it just makes sense. Things such as your downloads list and history appear in a new tab, rather than a panel that pops over the browser
  • Chrome is definately not a finished product. It tends to hang on some pages, and doesn’t load everything

So far I don’t think Google Chrome will replace anything I’m currently using, but it’s definately going to be something to watch.
