But with Chrome, you have individual process for each tab and plugin.

if i am browsing with 10 tabs. how do i know which tab go wrong?

While it could be seen that FF is going to lose some share of the browser market. I'm more interested to see both FF and GC taking IE's share.

I use GC and found it to be nice. the lack of ability to use middle mouse button to scroll really irks me. (note, mid mouse button, not wheel.)

like what I highlighted in my Blog - Firefox was under Google's referral program before. Now Referral is no more there, and it was stopped in August. Google can't be referring FF when their GC is coming out.

I think it's OK if they keep the IE's share. It's already good enough to pressure them to release 2 major versions in like 3 years. I might go back to IE one day.

also, it's refreshing to have another party using the webkit framework on Windows. A lot of potential. So let's see how Google takes this on. FF is definitely in for a tough fight with Chrome now in the picture.

Safari is fun and I like it too. But to be honest, it's just a whole world on it's own, the mac world that is. Haha!

Question, if chrome really takes off in a big way, would goog still keen to pump $$$ into mozilla corp?

I think so. The main thing is to take away IE's share. After IE is gone... then only the dual fight lo. But dunno need how many more years la.

I like GC because it's so damn responsive... and more space to work with. Taking away the title bar is genius.

Why do you want to take IE away?

[Dashken]

More competitiveness ma...

Now it's 80+%... would be great to love it to like 50-60%... then everyone will really fight for it.

Trying it out now and so far it is not bad, but several features seem ripped straight from Opera.

also, how can we be so sure that chrome's job is to take away MS IE's market share? so far, only the media is pushing this perspective.

update: Google's Omnibox could be Pandora's box | Beyond Binary - A blog by Ina Fried - CNET News. Erm.. goog wants more than just IE's marketshare.
