What's wrong with this Google ad?!! Originally uploaded by pbeens . I saw this ad this morning while surfing the net on my iPod Touch. Sorry for the poor quality, but the only way I could think of grabbing the screenshot really fast was with my camera. Click on the photo to see it on flickr.

It's amazing what Google keeps doing. A multi-threaded web browser, with each tab running as its own process makes so much sense. Download it at  www.google.com/chrome . Initial Comments: - fast!  - no integration with Roboform, my password manager (bad) ( Firefox's bookmarklets seem to work) - integrates with Google Documents for offline editing (nice) - no delicious integration yet (coming soon, I bet) - no ad blocker (very bad) - interesting home page - shows thumbnails of your popular pages. Opened by clicking the New Tab icon (intuitive I suppose, although I keep looking for a Home button). Update: You can enable the home button in options. It's disabled by default - there is no master password for saved passwords (dumb) Update: It's now 48 hours later and Chrome has already taken 1% of the browser share , which is more than Opera has gained in its entire life! Amazing!
