Google Chrome:Tabs on Steroids

If the download times are any indication, the 7-Mbyte Google Chrome browser is getting lots of downloads today. The download is slow. First reaction: the tabbed browsing feature, which is the reason many of us seem to prefer Mozilla's Firefox, is really noticeable. Google provides much-more extensive browsing history.

I've only used it briefly today, so although I can't assess perceived browser speed on an extended basis, which is supposed to be one of the advantages, it does seem to be executing faster.

I suspect the ability to isolate a single tab malfunction from paralyzing the whole browser might be useful. I haven't had a crash yet while using Web pages.
