A quick mention this so you can be one of the first to dive in and test drive Google’s latest release on their ever growing list of wares and services.

Chrome Screenshot

The new browser by Google called Chrome was officially announced on Tuesday, September 2 2008. Featuring some really useful and slightly different ways of operating.

It’s apparent that a great deal of thought has gone into the development of the browser and it’s all brilliantly and succinctly explained in this online comic.

I’ve downloaded and installed it already, and I’m actually typing this post in Chrome. So far so good, but I guess time will tell if this is a Firefox killer.

What spec is your machine Kingdom? I’m running a Centrino Duo 2.00ghz Toshiba A200 Satellite with 2GB RAM on Windows Vista at full aero’ness and it’s worked fine for me so far.

Also, any specific sites causing hanging?

I also noticed the inconsistency. I am also having major troubles with all my passwords imported from Firefox 3
