Leviathan Mist:
Anyone tried this yet? It's a new web browser by Google. I'm using it right now, and it gets my stamp of approval.
Dragonsbrethren:
I read about it earlier but no, I haven't tried it yet.
:edit:
Using it now, it's meh. I like the default navigation bar but dislike that it can't be customized at all as far as I can tell. I dislike how tabs appear in the titlebar, how it's saying "titlebar" is misspelled but there's no way to add it to a personal dictionary, and there's no adblock or any similar feature. Some of these things might be possible but half the links on the list of features don't work. I think I'll be sticking with Firefox for now.
Deathlike2:
Bah to it because there's no 2k support. The ideas are promising, particularly the idea to have full control over mem management.. so that the browser doesn't crap on itself and you can close those windows that consume the most resources (fuck Flash).
Leviathan Mist:
Update - it seems to load sites faster than Firefox and IE, but it crapped out on me while watching a YouTube video, something Firefox never does. Still, it's a nice browser to have, but I think I'll stick to Firefox as well

i hear you on Flash. i despise that blight on the Internet. it's overused by websites, and too many of these bozos can't code for it properly, so there's memory leaks galore. i'd disable it due to all the memory (and occasional CPU) disasters it causes, but CNBC and a couple other websites use Flash videos, so i don't bother.
as for Chrome, haven't used it, and in no rush to do so. i'm currently using IE6, even though i know Firefox to be superior. i got back in the habit of using IE in late 2006, after having used FireFox for a good year, and inexplicably haven't switched back.
has anybody here used newer versions of Opera? i've used it up thru Version 7. while the interface is fast and lightweight, i find the program is slow at actually downloading data from the Internet. it's like whoever coded it doesn't understand connectivity ... unless it just hates my computer setup for some reason. if newer versions improve this behavior, i might install them.
