Google Chrome

well as many of you might know the chrome beta was released sometime ago, i recently downloaded, and installed it. It is a good browser i suppose, for a beta. No browser has actually peaked my interest enough to actually have me considering switching from Mozilla Firefox or at least using them both until now. It has a very stream line user interface.
I Noticed some key things that I thought were worth mentioning. Well as i mentioned above it is streamline and some of the things you'd see in other browsers such as, File Edit History Bookmarks etc. are not there but everything is accessible through 2 drop down menus. Also unlike other browsers when opening a new tab in chrome it uses something (im sorry but i forgot the name, it was mentioned in the conference.) But what it does is kind make each tab its own process. so when ever a page in a tab freezes the whole browser doesn't crash, and close, but only that tab crashes. And when a tab crashes the other tabs work as if there is nothing wrong.
I would also like to mention that chrome is very open source, but i haven't had a chance to fiddle with that. Well Thats all i have to say. Thank You
