Google Chrome - Impressed So Far
I’m pretty impressed with the new Google Chrome browser. While it seems to perform fast, like Safari (also based on WebKit), my favorite feature so far is the “View Source” UI. Hitting Ctrl-U (same hotkey as Firefox) to view a page’s HTML source brings in up in a separate tab (not a separate window or Notepad (blech IE)) and included really nice color-coded HTML, validates, and external resources (CSS, images, JS files, etc) are hyperlinked so you can click on them to view them.
Also, I like how the integrated search works. You can press Ctrl-K (same hotkey as Firefox) or you can just press “?” in the address bar and enter your search terms and it will perform a search on your default search engine.
The mutli-process architecture is also very impressive and takes the approach of an operating system, making the browser more stable with multiple tabs, each running plugins or other embedded content simultaneously running in its own process outside of the browser.
