Chrome, the new web browser from Google, is very nice. It’s quick, it’s low on resources, and it’s pretty slick in general. There are a few bugs (like certain links can crash it), and there’s a nasty security problem in that your stored passwords aren’t protected in any way. Oh, and there’s no Mac version yet. However, once they’ve sorted these issues out, I might make the switch.

In traditional Google Humour style, Chrome is also full of easter eggs. For example, type “about:internets” into the URL bar.

In addition, if you right-click the bar at the top and choose Task Manager, you get this:

Chrome: Stats for Nerds

Chrome: Stats for Nerds

Click “Stats for nerds”, and you get… stats! For nerds! Stats that also show you have Chrome’s resource usage stacks up against other browsers you might have running…
