Google’s new web browser ‘Chrome’ has been released for Windows (Mac, Linux to be released in time) and thus far I’ve been damn impressed. In terms of speed, I’ve found it to be considerably quicker than Firefox 3 especially at handling large numbers of tabs (>20) and the speed of Gmail is just extraordinary. The ‘Omnibox’ aka Firefox’s ‘Awesomebox’ seems to work extremely well although I haven’t yet mastered using multiple search engines via the single box. 

Short verdict: superb, definitely worth a try especially if you consider yourself a power user. I’d keep an eye out for security vulnerabilities, although I suspect google will be quick to respond with automatic updates.
