Just started using Google’s latest app – the Chrome Browser. I loved the minimalist design of the browser; it lives up to the “Maximize Content and Minimize Chrome” philosophy talked about in their The story behind Google Chrome video.

But I was a little puzzled by Chrome’s resource utilization. For all the speed that Google has been talking about, the browser was stuggling real hard when I started switching between just about 10 tabs.

Doesn’t look like Google will come out with a browser that bites the dust so easily. Something must be wrong with my config…or the sites i picked up…I’ll check it out later…probably next week.

One thing I want to do for sure is compare Flock with Chrome…both claim to be for the “new” web, and both are in beta. I don’t have any complaints about Flock till date.

My last post for the day… please start Flocking. Meaning, please start using this really cool new browser that goes by the name “Flock”.

The tagline for the browser is “The Social Web Browser” and its got a whole bunch of features that will be of great help if you are the kind who uses quite a bit of so called web 2.0 features available on sites.

I haven’t used all the available features, but it looks promising, and yes, it is definitely fast.

Flock is powered by the Mozilla engine, and is currently in Beta 2. Yep, still in beta so be careful while using it, although it hasn’t crashed once in the last couple of months I have been using it.

Snapshot of features in Flock 2 Beta can be found here.

I heard even Stumbleupon works with it now, although I haven’t installed the extension yet.
