I was really excited about the Google Chrome concept when I first heard about it. A browser focused on decentralizing it’s process tree to help prevent an entire browser crash during a lockup. I don’t see it as a long term runner but more as a kickin the pants the current browsers needed to be heading in the right direction, because who knows what web users need best other than a company that develops web apps and records trends for those users.
Google also made a kickin comic to go with it, you can find it here http://blogoscoped.com/google-chrome/
I setup and wrote this entire blog thus far in Google Chrome and man was it fast!
