Google Chrome

 Have you heard about Chrome? It's a Google-created (or, at least, sponsored) web browser. Its point is to make web browsing faster, more stable, and more standard. And it seems to do a pretty good job, to me.

But the point of this post is not for me to explain it: check out the comic book they did, explaining what makes Chrome different and why.

I truly can't even remember the last time my desktop browser crashed. Seriously, I wish Apple could program the Finder to be as crash-resistant as desktop Safari. (iPhone Safari is another matter, but I understand that's primarily a memory-usage issue on a severely RAM-limited platform. My desktop has 10 gigs, although I suppose Safari only gets 4 GB of that since it's still a 32-bit app.)

(And my god, I just can't use FireFox because of its horrifyingly not-Mac interface. Every fricking widget is some custom-skinned imposter trying and failing to actually act like the system-native ones. Windows users may be used to that garbage, but I won't take it. Tell me when FF is AppleScriptable and the address bar is a real Cocoa text field that accepts Ctl-t to transpose. Oh, I could go on.)

I've briefly tried Chrome. Nothing really to report; it has not been used enough for reasonable judgments. Has a very minimal interface; I like that sort of thing.
