Google's Chrome Browser is Blazin' Fast!

It was the speed that finally sold me.

I was reading an article titled, “Inside Chrome: The Secret Project to Crush IE and Remake the Web”

Three pieces in particular convinced me to download it and give it a try:
1) “… functions that previously could be performed only on the desktop — email, spreadsheets, database management — are increasingly handled online. In the coming era of cloud computing, the Web will be much more than just a means of delivering content — it will be a platform in its own right.”
2) “One key change they had in mind was something called a multiprocess architecture, the system that helps the computer keep going when an application crashes or freezes. Why not extend that idea to browsers, so if something crashes in a tab, the other tabs are unperturbed?”
3) This cartoon about their testing process:

4) The browser “JavaScript 10 times faster than Firefox or Safari. And how does it compare in those same benchmarks to the market-share leader, Microsoft's IE 7? Fifty-six times faster.”

My immediate impressions are:
1) It is simple and clean in design.
2) I found it fairly intuitive and easy to use with little instruction.
3) It is blazingly fast – much faster than Firefox, my preferred browser till now.
