Download Google Chrome

I've just downloaded and installed Google Chrome beta which is the first web browser from Google. It's an open source browser just like Mozilla Firefox, but the difference is that each tab is a separate application, which means there will be no more browser freezing because of one bug in one of the opened tabs, with Google Chrome, only the tab in which the buggy page is loaded will be frozen, the rest of the tabs will still be active and running, good.
Also the layout of the browser is such that the interface is quite invisible, for instance there is no windows title bar or status bar, so it saves about 32 pixels in height compared to other browsers when not in fullview.

Here's the video which is the same as the cartoon, more or less:

Finally, I copy here a bit of information about Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows:

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

One box for everything: Type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages. Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs.

Thumbnails of your top sites: Access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Every time you open a new tab, you'll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages and closed tabs.

Shortcuts for your apps: Get desktop shortcuts to launch your favorite web applications. Use web apps without opening your browser. Application shortcuts can directly load your favorite online apps.

Dynamic tabs: You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish -- quickly and easily.

Crash control: Every tab you're using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won't take anything else down.

Incognito mode: Don't want pages you visit to show up in your web history? Choose incognito mode for private browsing.

Safe browsing: Google Chrome warns you if you're about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website.

Instant bookmarks: Want to bookmark a web page? Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you're done.

Importing settings: When you switch to Google Chrome, you can pick up where you left off with all the bookmarks and passwords from your existing browser.

Simpler downloads: No intrusive download manager; you see your download's status at the bottom of your current window.
