I just wondered what peoples first impressions of Google Chrome Beta are?
Checkout the element inspector (right click on any element in a web page).

This could be a very interesting one... (for everyone)

I investigated it weeks ago. Watched the videos and the cute cartoon. I like the idea behind it. IE is pile of crap and causes more cost to IT than necessary--typical of so much Microsoft software. I like that it uses the same rendering engine as Safari--very fast. I like the separate process per tab idea plus much else in their design. If they can create a consistent, programmable, cross-platform browser without all the crap of IE and excess of Mozilla then good luck to them. Might be what is needed to create proper web applications without the current mess of browser differences. Just support Chrome. Too earlier to tell yet because it seems to be a work-in-progress.

It's not yet available for MacOS X so I didn't bother downloading it. Life's too short to spend any more time in Windows than necessary.

NOTE: Safari has an element inspector too--probably the same one since they are both built on WebKit.
