Google made a web browser that is currently in beta, it is amazingly fast. At least try it; it will blow you away.

Wow! Thanks for this. <3

Google does it again: the new tab page, incognito mode, drag tabs to create new windows, your own task manager for tabs, if one tab crashes others aren't lost and built in download status bar. :O

An you're right it's fast as lightning. Now all Google has too do is create themes and it will be ahead of Firefox 3 which has very few compatible themes.

They also need a way to access my favorites (bookmarked pages).

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it 3 seconds after I posted. :P

I love the thumbnail feature when you click on the home button, open a new tab, or just as you open up Google Chrome. Very neat indeed! I'm fine with the theme as is for now, doesn't make me angry enough to go out and club baby seals.

I noticed a lack of Java plug-ins though. :/

I'm not using it until they come out with AdBlock for it. :P

@Cookie Crusher-

Indeed, it also gets a bit laggy with Flash components. Two things that are very important in the next version.

Yeah, the Flash things... I have been trying it and went to youtube with it. I can't view movies on it. Which is kinda ironic when you think about the fact that youtube is property of Google XD
Yes, I'm aware that Flash stuff isn't handled by google, but I still found it ironic. And funny :P
The speed increase is nice though.

I'm using it right now. It's nice, but there's no add ons and a lack of buttons. FF 3 for the win!

I use Google Chrome for websites that take long to load (The Red vs Blue website, Drunkduck and WoWwiki, to name a few) and the extra speed is a massive help while playing WoW, as I hardly have to wait for WoWwiki, WoWhead, etc to load.
