I tried it on windows xp. My impression is that it is more stable for the following reason. I tend to open up many browser windows and tabs when I search for something on the net. I had an issue with firefox, because if a tab crashed I had to close all the windows and open tabs and start my search over again. Chrome has a task manager of its own and you can kill the tab/plugin (i.e. flash, silverlight) that is unresponsive, without affecting the rest of the tabs.

Regarding the user experience with web apps, I haven’t noticed anything special. It’s just that the user interface is minimalistic, which gives you more screen space to view a site. It’s like browsing on “full screen” all the time!

From my brief scan of the comic it seems like they are targeting the new style of browsing of using web applications. I don’t think a browser like this would be compared to something like Firefox in terms of stability, speed, memory usage, etc., but rather on its greater usability with web apps. But this, I can’t see yet cos I’m on a Mac

Did you test it on Windows or Linux? I believe Windows Firefox 3.0 is VERY stable and also on the Mac.

Can you explain a bit more about how it makes web apps easier/more convenient to use?
