That does sound very nice, but I cant help feel for Firefox. I can see them getting brushed to one side a bit when Google start promoting this a bit more.

wow that comic is a nice take on things, lol i bet there are some none technical folk who might just understand that.

seems like a nice idea, i'll try it

i like that they're open sourcing to help out others too

it can only be a step in the right direction can't it? google have given us alot really

i remember the first time i EVER used the search engine, purely because someone showed me how fast it searched, and i guess its just gone from there lol i don't often use any other search engine now, i don't have any need to, google image search with piclens in firefox is beautiful and fast and helps you find what you're after a damn site quicker

(i recommend that to anyone who hasn't already tried it)

lets see how this goes i'll keep an eye out for a download

I can`t think of many google related things that I don`t delete off a persons pc the moment they ask me if I can clean it up for them.

Google have a bad habit of having a good idea, then having it grow into a marketing tool with hooks and upd8 links.

Could be different for this, but I dunno.

Sporting features such as 'isolated' tabs to prevent multiple tabs crashing

This is a great thing!

Might give it a bash when it's out in the future. Not beta though.

Amazing Browser!

Loads so fast. The tabs are in the corner, and it makes for an almost full screen experience.

I Wouldn't call it amazing tbh. It's just a blend of existing browsers. I like the look of it though.

Have you tried it? It's ridiculously fast and makes FF3 look bad.

[Hyper]

Just trying this now.

It does seem to load things faster but this leads me to think it might not be as secure as FF3?

I will try it now and again but wont be setting it to my default browser just set.

I dont trust google with stuff like browsing - arent they known for collecting data and probably feeding it all to U.S government? lol

i am paranoid but i dont like using beta stuff anyhoo

will be good to spice up the browser race again, more changes
