Whatever else Google Chrome is, one very gratifying experience today is how much faster it handles my AJAX-heavy Gmail app, which can so often and so annoyingly load pages so slowly. I have never, ever seen Gmail pages load this fast. One probable explanation is that, apparently, Google Chrome is insanely fast.

As much as I love all things Google, like many I have become somewhat jaded at hearing the “latest” Google feature announcement. But I have got to admit, this one really made me sit up straight and read online this afternoon. From the official Google blog: A fresh take on the browser. For an interesting initial take, only one of innumerable blog posts to come, there is Google Blogoscoped’s Google Chrome, Google’s Browser Project. This is going to be really interesting.
