Chrome is new open source browser developed by Google, outed today (ops…yesterday, midnight is past), and it’s really a revolution. You could imagine a super sofisticated browser, and insted Google suprises all as always.
It has a really simple and clear interface, for every user.
It’s really rapid with javascript, thanks to its js virtual machine. Yes, it isn’t a Java virtual machine but a Javascript virtual machine. It improves a lot js code execution, and the result is that you get a page in milliseconds.
Only a bar, Omnibox, you’ll never lose yourself with too many bars. It’s similar to Firefox 3 awesome bar, but it includes also search bar.
One process for every tab, a problem on a tab doesn’t affect all opened browser tabs and garbage collection is better managed.
No need to set full screen mode: tabs are displayed at top to save space, and there aren’t too many toolbars or status bars.
Homepage contains 9 thumbnails of most visited sites, most recently bookmarked pages and history search.
And finally a pearl…options are spitted in three tabs: Basics, Minor Tweaks, Under the Hood (in Italian: Impostazioni di base, Piccoli ritocchi, Roba da smanettoni)…really funny 
I evaluate this as a killer application that will have a great part of market. Now is only a beta test but I see a pink future for this browser; Google always introduces great innovations and applications but I think this will be the better program.
You can read a long but exaustive comics review, watch tutorial videos or read other reviews: Mozilla Links - comparison with Firefox; Mozilla Links - Browser Wars II
