Google Chrome !!...simple simplicity

Google has announced their entry into the browser wars with the beta release of Google Chrome, a browser that promises to revolutionize the way we operate on the web. The good people at Google even published a little comic book explaining the browser and what they aim to accomplish with it here.

One of the nice things about this browser is that it features it's own task manager:

Chrome features a process management utility called the Task Manager which will allow the user to "see what sites are using the most memory, downloading the most bytes and abusing (their) CPU" (as well as the plugins which run in separate processes) and terminate them.

I know that I'll be using this as a supplement to my Firefox usage until it becomes more stable, but as of now it seems to be having some Java compatibility issues.  And of course, here is the link to download and try out Google Chrome for yourself.  Happy surfing!
