I was interested to find out what kind of tool Google was announcing today so I took a peek and discovered that Google came up with a new browser. They have an interesting take on the browser with the multi-process model so I decided to give it a try. The installation was painless and I was able to get things running almost right away. I am quite surprised that Google chose to use Webkit which Safari currently uses. Even though it is faster than Firefox, I find that it’s less compatible with web sites than Firefox. Of course IE is still the king right now since there are still many websites that only works with IE exclusively.

Anyways, as I was tinkering around with Chrome, I opened a PDF file within Chrome and then it brought my Vista to its knees. The process was spinning so obviously I had to kill the process. To my surprise, my Vista actually blue screened and there it was my first blue screen experience with Vista.

I am also using Chrome to write this blog and with my Eee PC. The chrome process keeps on busying out for no reason; I am not running any other applications but my entire system is unresponsive while stuck waiting for the disk. So far I am defintely not impressed but hey this is only the first day of release; the app does look really good and it load pages as fast as Safari. Let’s see if they can continue to improve the web experience down to the browser.
