Google has a new browser if anyone hasn't noticed.
not to bad from what i have seen so far, has an inbuilt spell checker that i just noticed as i was typing this.
needs adblock though

anyone else tried?

anyway, it seems pretty cool, each tab is a seperate process, so if one tab crashs you can close it and not loose anything else you are doing.
also you can grab a tab and drag it out and it becomes its own browser, then you can drag that back into a another browser and it becomes just another tab in that one again.

Haha... I've just realised what the "Play Portal Now" icon is on my desktop at home, I never checked what it was and had no idea where it came from

I've been using it for a few days - it makes MEA faster...
Its missing the Ctrl + Scroll for zoom that IE has, when you have a 30" screen that function becomes very important. Some web pages don't scale up with resolution, instead sticking with 800 x 600. Bah that craps me when my res is 2560 x 1600...

No, done a fair bit CAD in my time (spent the last 5 years as a design drafty) and so real estate is prime.
I wanted one, and the mrs liked it so she bought it for my birthday.

Using Chrome right now. I haven't noticed the much-lauded speed difference. However, it seems easy to use and the search and URL bar (whatever they call it) is a lot better for me than the "awesome bar", which also uses page titles. Only little functionality issues for me are things like Javascript "click to enlarge".
Firefox has inline spell checking as well. If not by default, it's available as an extension, even in Australian or British English, for anyone who still doesn't speak American.
