It' s now been a couple of days since Google entered the browser business. Their entry was with an easy to use, minimalist yet powerful (think iphone) browsing experience.
As someone who has used all the main browsers, Internet Explorer 8(beta 2), Firefox, Safari, and now Chrome, I must say that Chrome is fast becoming my favorite.
It offers a new, why hasn't it always been this way, look at tabs. The tabs are now at the very top of the screen. They are easily moved, and when you open a new tab you get a screen with 9 screenshots of your most visited websites. I hate opening a tab to a white screen of nothingness.
The biggest innovation is behind the scenes. Each tab is independent of the others, meaning that if one tab freezes (a few of mine already have) the whole browser does not have to be x'd. Your tab gets frown-face while its sorting out the mess and you continue on with your other business frustration-free.
The ante has been raised. The line has been drawn in the sand. This should spur much more creativity and we should all end up with better and better browsers!
