Google's Chrome

| 0 Comments
Today, Google announced Chrome, their foray into the world of web browsers, and they hired Scott McCloud to illustrate how Chrome is different from other browsers, and their thought process behind their browser -- I can say from my experimentation that the browser is ridiculously fast, and while Chrome is PC only for now, I can't wait until it's out for the Mac as well, as there is a substantial difference in speed from Firefox.

The design is incredibly minimalistic, as it includes only the basics -- a forward and back, refresh, a way to bookmark, and a few pull down tabs for all the other fiddly bits. I can see this replacing Firefox for me as soon as Mac version is available.
