So like many people yesterday I've been amused by the announce of Google's chrome browser. I like the way it was done - the comic is a very good idea !!!
Reading the comic was great fun - and very informative - especially on their QA process - each build is tested against the cache content that google maintains, bug can then be ranked based on google's rank page algorithm
I was disappointed that it's win32 only for now, but since mike blogged about the fact he was working on it, I'm reassured. I just hope we will see a PowerPC version - but I'm not holding my breath there. It seems that most of the ex-netscaper working @ google are working on this project. A few things are annoying - like certificate handling - which prevent me to use it for work stuff. Anyhow it's good to see something borrowing one of BeOS concepts of one thread per window and changing it to one process per tab, in beos all applications were snappy because of that. I'm pretty sure that on the long run Chrome is going to rock.
There is one thing I don't like. It's that it transforms 404 into google search pages :-( That is bad I think.
