IE8 is "fatter" and more resource hungry than XP (http://weblog.infoworld.com/enterprisedesktop/archives/2008/09/ie_8_consumes_m.html)

Forget IE8, Google Chrome is coming out today
September 2, 2008

For Linux and OSX users they will have to continue using:

FireFox
Opera
Safari

Until Linux and OSX versions are released.

As for Windows users we get it first !

Whow that is quite shocking. On those stats its even more resource hungry than my ff3 with multiple add-ons running.

Il have to have a look at google chrome, however some of the pre release documents make it sound like junk to be honest, have to wait and see.

Well Google Chrome has potential , I did like it. It needs to be released as a Final version and a few other things that I'd like to see, need to be added of fixed,a simple example, Chrome fixes render display errors on pages (like IE), FireFox 3 doesn't rather it shows you the error this should be a option for Chrome for Developers. The regular people who just want to view the page and get on with life and not have to see render display errors incase a page has them (just one of a few things I'd like to see in Google Chrome) for the time being I will stick with my current browser, which is Opera !!
