Google released their web browser yesterday. Its been built from the ground up using "web kit" as the base engine.
One of the best features is that every new tab is held in a separate process rather than the usual shared address space. This means that when you get a site that crashes the browser, it only takes out the tab its running in and not the whole browser.
I have been playing with it all night and it is quite fast and user friendly.
Get it here (http://www.google.com/chrome) or look at the cool comic strip about it here (http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/)
Anyone else had a go with it?
