Google assploded the blogosphere yesterday with the slip up announcement of Google Chrome, their very own webkit and V8 powered web browser. Today they released the beta version and being a sucker for anything new I had to give it a whirl. I decided to use Chrome for the whole day to see if it really is worth all the fuss.

I have to say, I’m very impressed with it so far. It is clearly a beta, there are plenty of rough edges and more than a few sites have problems with the new Javascript engine (although no crashes so far, and I don’t think there are any memory leaks), but there is a lot to like and clearly a lot of potential in Chrome.
