New browsers

Well, I wrote a few days ago about Flock, a firefox-based browser focused on networking. You can download it here. I am really enjoying it, but it is quite a memory hog. I think it has to do with how much it is keeping track of. But it is nice to be able to open the browser and just check in on what everyone is up to. And I love it's blogging tool (did this post through it!). Check it out and play with it!

And I'm not too sure how many of you out there are aware of this, but Google just released it's own browser. What?! you ask.... Yeah. Unfortunately, it's only a Beta version which only works on XP and Vista. But Mac and Linux ones are supposedly coming soon. I've started playing around with it. It is blazing fast! But it has a some bugs on a few websites. On the other hand, it is the fastest browser I've seen with gmail, and it has Gears built in, so you can take many of the google services that are offered offline (through Gears) offline. Very cool. It's called Chrome. If you're using windows, it's definitely worth a shot.

On an interesting note, Google released word of this browser to programmers and others worldwide by emailing them a comic strip. Though a little deep, it really explains all about the browser.
