Google Chrome for Linux

Google now have Google Chrome for Linux out there in Beta, which opens up the web browser options for Linux users http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/w00t.html. (they never fail to ack their geek roots, the page is named w00t! Got to love that)

I am in online marketing and find that I often need to be logged into Three different Google accounts at the same time. Firefox, Opera and IE on Windows gives me two relatively responsive browsers and IE, so that is enough. On Linux I have had Firefox, Opera and Konquerer? Sorry it just does not cut it, it kind of reminds me of old versions of IE which were web browser and file browser all-in-one.

So Google Chrome is a great addition, why do I like it? Google Chrome is lightweight and stable; no plugins or OS hooks, so it loads really fast. It is also standards compliant, so page rendering is not a problem. And that Incognito mode is really great if you do not trust a site (or have other browsing needs you do not want recorded )
