Google Browser

IT's Called Google Chrome, its a new free open source attempt by google to own the world:
My views on it so far (lunched today, played with it for an hour or so)
Openbox:
when you type in a website in the bar along the top, in goggle toolbar and fire fox fashion it tries to guess what you are sticking in it, if its a website you not been too or a search you not done before it tries to guess like so, I just typed in Holidays to and it come up with the following:
I can assure you i have not typed in either of them.
Next is the applications part, first i thought that they had just renamed Favourites but it is really a good idea, what it does is it creates a shortcut on your desktop/quick launch/ start menu (tick which you want) etc, then i realised it opens up with its own memory etc, so if Chrome crashes or your application crashes the other stays open!!!

Home page, your homepage can be what you want it as, or you can leave it blank for a useful tool, it remembers your most recent sites and saves them as a thumbnail on the homepage so you can literally just click, it also does this for when you open a tab.
Now one thing that really scared the fuck of of me was the save passwords section, now i like it when it saves my password, but if my computer is stolen Mr Thief can only access the sites until I change the password to something else, here he can click Show passwords see the sites passwords are saved for, the login and the password with no knowlodge needed!
And finnaly the spell checker, it likes to highlight my mistakes in things but when i left or right click a misspelled word it just gives me the standard cut copy paste etc, its like an anoying teacher "you spelt it wrong but you got to find the right word for it" IE and FF helped me here and let me add words, the best bit is if i put Google it puts it as a spell mistake?!

I downloaded it today. Quite a fast browser, nice features too.
Not sure I would show everyone my recently viewed pages though.

It has an incognito function, to keep recently viewed pages from showing up entirely.
