CNET reviews Google’s new Chrome browser and gives it 3 out of 5 stars. Bascially, it’s fast and memory intensive, both the result of separating each tab’s processes from the others.
From CNET:
Google has released the beta version of a new browser, Chrome. In its comic-book preannouncement, Google stated correctly that watching videos, chatting, and even playing Web-based games didn’t exist when browsers were first invented. Google wants the browser to help users focus on the applications and pages they are viewing, rather than on browser toolbars and buttons. Google has rethought the Internet browser–some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel–but users will recognize some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.
