It appears that Google scored a PR success with their Chrome browser. In short, the promise is a web experience where web pages are allowed to behave more like desktop applications. This is done by boosting the abilities of common web pages in terms of performance, while also allowing 'plugins' to enrich the user experience of certain other pages. As it seems, the announcement shot at the heads of people who've been holding their breath for the fabled Google Operating System. However in the following text I will demonstrate that Chrome [based on what we are allowed to know] puts strain on the Designer and Developer communities, is not innovative (save for one feature), and copies ideas liberally from Google's worst enemy.

Separate tabs per process: IE8. And uses a lot more memory.
Firefox's new JS engine is already faster than Chrome's V8. They published some benchmarks the other day. So apparently Chrome looks outdated now since Firefox is faster again.
Seriously. How about not using a completely stupid word like "outdated" just because one browser has marginally better performance in one specific JS test?

Chrome features FTW. WebKit, separate tabs per process, faster JavaScript engine are all nice and makes Firefox looks kinda outdated. I like Firefox though and I hope they captch up soon.
