The Google Chrome is out. You can download and install from http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=en&brand=CHMG&utm_source=en-hpp&utm_medium=hpp&utm_campaign=en
So whats cool about Google Chrome..
1. Its fast. Firefox takes about 10 -2 0 sec to open the browser. Chrome is there in 2 sec.
2. The Memory Usage is less compared to Firefox or IE. I opened 3 tabs in both Chrome and Firefox. Firefox was consuming around 45000K, Chrome did the same in 30000K. Cool..
3. Checkout the Task Manager once again. Firefox shows only a single process for all the tabs but chrome shows different processes. So when a tab hangs you don't have to kill all the other tabs.
4. Download is good. It pops up a small frame in the bottom of the page showing the download information. You can also check out all the download you have done. Click on " Customize and control Google Chrome icon" and then the Download, a separate tab opens showing the all the download.
5. The home page if not set to anything else is the page showing Most visited page. This is a very helpful feature.
6. Did you check out the "Find on the Page" Option? On click this. It pops out a small text box with up and down arrow in the top right corner. Looks great!!. Its adopted from firefox but the location of the textbox is convenient. As in firefox you dont have to come all the way down just to enter few text.
7. The feature excited me was "Create Application ShortCut". I opened wikipedia.org in a tab and Clicked on "Create Application ShortCut" and checked on the Desktop checkbox. Whooah.. I saw a shortcut with wiki logo. Cool isn't it!!!
8. The "New incognito window" feature is awesome for privacy. It doesnt store any cookie or history of the sites we open in the incognito window.
Google Chrome has got some cool features but still enhancement is required. It cannot open a pdf page. Sites like blogger.com itself is not working.
I will recommend Google Chrome for sites which has less scripts and flash. Best for frequently surfed sites.

00. The download link would be so much easier if it were just google.com/chrome
1. If Firefox takes 10-20 sec to open it is because of add-ons(if you don't have any add-ons and it takes time to open something's wrong with the computer) and not anything else. Chrome doesn't have any add-ons at all, so this is not a matching comparison.
3. Yes, memory seems to be better in Chrome. But so many threads seems scary.
7. This feature is already available in Mozilla labs as Prism: a)http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/prism/ b)http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/10/prism/
I think this needs more scrutiny because such external links can be used to hijack the website-link on your desktop and redirect you elsewhere.
