have been using Google's new Chrome web browser for the past couple of days... its pretty good since they have combined the address and search boxes to let people search for information and websites by entering keywords into the same bar.. maybe the luks are better... speed is also somewhat faster although i am not sure... its consuming almost same amount of ram as Mozilla's Firefox and Internet Explorer. I could not scrutinize the security features but my guess is that its pretty safe. one thing more which my friend made me notice is that in Chrome if a web page hangs then u only have to close that page and the web browser still functions. that is not the case in others like IE and firefox. there you have to close the entire browser and then restart again.
I also feel that it's somehow very streamlined and simple to use.
Right now its an open source project and developers will be allowed to build new features for the browser. It is available for download in almost 100 countries. Although initially it is working only on computers which have Windows as their operating system but versions for MAC and LINUX operating systems are being developed.
Let's see what happens in the race for the world's best web browser. Chrome is entering a very challenging and competitive market which Microsoft has dominated for years with its Internet Explorer (72%). Second in the race is Firefox with around 20% share.
P.S. : My laptop being very old, the ram is very less (768 MB). Also my internet connection speed is just 256 kbps. So i might have missed a few tricks of GOOG.

Thanks man for writing up on chrome...must say you've nailed it just like a tech reporter. Chrome is good but the thing is that it has copied all the best features of other browsers in the market like IE,Mozilla,Opera something which i never expected from Google. Anyways it has a JavaScript based engine so it will definitely crumble to a certain extent in Flash/Silverlight sites.But it definitely consumes less memory than Mozilla or IE.Lets see how much it survives in the long run especially when Microsoft is ready to roll out its full version of IE 8 in some time.Launching Chrome seems more a less an attack on Microsoft rather than on Mozilla.Lets see how things shape up so called proxy browser wars in the near future.I would still rate Mozilla to be the best so far due to some features like security,management of bookmarks etc.
i too agree that mozilla is the best among them..
i dont agree bout chrome being that grt...i have all 3 on my office laptop wich is a shit celeron but still all of them function fairly fine...
the kill bad tab function is grt but the only problem is that if ur net is slow, itl ask fr u to kill almost all the tabs..stupid browser..
its a grt ting for searching the net (obviously) and gmail etc but try it for other sites esp'ly banking or railways or sites less used and u have a HUGE PROBLEM, they dont work...
so in the end for eveyday usage im sticking to mozilla wich i can tweak, and only fr searching shifting to chrome
