New browser on the block
Google have released thier own Web browser, Chrome, to rival Firefox and Explorer. Anyone downloaded/used it yet?
I'll probably give it a go this evening when i get home. |

Re: New browser on the block
Oh is that what it is? I might give it a go, as I was so behind in getting firefox (as in, I still haven't got it
 ) so then maybe I will be "cool" to use chrome

Re: New browser on the block
How lightweight is it? As that's meant to be its main selling factor, how big was it to install and how much memory is it currently using???

Re: New browser on the block
That's a touch hungry for 2 tabs... did you mean 2 tabs on each four windows?
