    The day has almost come - just waiting for it to be actually downloadable. It is to be open source. Discuss.

    I really like the features of it all (Especially the sad tab thing, I hate firefox crashing all of my tabs just because of a youtube video), but I just wonder if they will be able to implement it all. :s, I'll love google if they can come out with this .

    looks interesting, though its bound to have issues by using webkit without some sort of browser agent.
    I hope its expansible like firefox.

    Since I posted I've been reading the comic book and I have to say this is going to be truely awesome.

    I notice it doesn't say anything about operating systems - but I seriously doubt Google would build something that doesn't run on all three of Windows, Mac and Linux. It may especially benefit us on Linux, with the sad state of crashing flash.

    Once you switch to alsa and use flash player 10 rc, crashes in firefox aren't a problem anymore.

    Only problem with flash are the grey boxes.

    But about this project, it does sound awesome. And I hope it will be available fast to all platforms that has wanting users. Being Windows, Mac etc. and both for Qt and GTK.

    Haven't done it on Kubuntu (I use ALSO but unless flash 10 is in the repos I don't use it) but on Gentoo I've noticed horrible slowness on some sites (can't remember which) and lack of sound and/or video on others (ustream for one)
