Google to release it's own web browser; Chrome

[hpa]

I've installed the browser already.
It's lean smooth and clean. Not stuffed with dozens of things, just the way I like.
Now let's see what FF has to say about it :P

Some interesting facts from a PC Mag review of Chrome:

1. It scored a 78 on the Acid3 browser compatibility test, which bests the big two browsers.

2. Its JavaScript performance, taking advantage of the new V8 engine, is one of the more touted features of Chrome, and in the well-regarded SunSpider performance test, it came in with a time of 3471ms, compared with IE8's 12,866 ms and Firefox 3's 6,701 ms—a marked and impressive improvement that gives a lot of credence to Google engineers' claims that this will pave the path to far richer JavaScript-based web applications.

Here’s Chrome vs. Firefox 3.0.1 vs IE7 vs. IE8b2 in a head-to-head shootout running the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark.

Here Google Chrome completed the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark in a average of 1,791 milliseconds, nearly half the time that Firefox 3.0.1 took to complete the test. In this test Google Chrome absolutely blows away IE.
UPDATED
Let’s see how the browsers compare to each other when tested using the V8 benchmark suite. This suite carried out five tests:

Richards
OS kernel simulation benchmark, originally written in BCPL by Martin Richards (539 lines).
DeltaBlue
One-way constraint solver, originally written in Smalltalk by John Maloney and Mario Wolczko (880 lines).
Crypto
Encryption and decryption benchmark based on code by Tom Wu (1689 lines).
RayTrace
Ray tracer benchmark based on code by Adam Burmister (3418 lines).
EarleyBoyer
Classic Scheme benchmarks, translated to JavaScript by Florian Loitsch’s Scheme2Js compiler (4682 lines).
With this benchmark, the higher the score, the better …

As you can see, Google Chrome savegly beats all the opposition running the V8 benchmark suite a whopping ten times faster than Firefox 3.0.

Google Chrome certainly has delivered on the speed it promised, and so far testing indcates that the browser is very robust - over the past few hours I’ve been hammering it very hard and I’ve yet to have a crash.

Here’s a single Google Chrome Window with 70+ tabs open and the browser is still nice and responsive and there’s not even a hint that it’s struggling under the weight of the open tabs.

[KuRsEd]

FB works best in Safari and so far I've had no issues with it on Chrome.

[M.Farooq]

As I said earlier its impressive as a browser which is in its beta stage although we should see marked improvements in it over the coming few months till its final release.
