Default Google Chrome - A real Firefox/IE competitor?

Well I'm sat here typing this on Google Chrome - which is Googles very own web browser.

To be honest, it looks like your average web browser with a cool interface. However it has some super cool stuff backend which make it super quick and generally very stable.

I would suggest people check it out just for the fun.

There is actually a comic which explains the cool stuff behind it too:

http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

May sound strange, but it's a surprisingly good read
