Google Chrome, a recent entry to the Windows web browser market, celebrates its first birthday today. Chrome has offered many improvements throughout the last year of its development, namely an incredible 150% increase in JavaScript performance since its initial release.
This performance increase is definitely noticeable in the performance of Google Chrome Experiments, which is a showcase of innovative and interesting uses of JavaScript. Most impressive, I’ve found that many of these Experiments cause Firefox to freeze while running very well in Chrome.
Many features have been added over the last few months, including themes, form autofill, side-by-side view, and the ability to customize and remove items from the New Tab page. The Chrome team is still working on releases for both Mac and Linux (and a developer version for Mac and Linux is currently available if you’re feeling daring). Most exciting to me: Extension support for Chrome is “well underway”!

Been using Chrome for almost a year now myself. Definitely my favorite browser at the moment.
