Sweet jesus, if you click on a tab and drag it off the window you can drop it and it creates a new browser window, you can also drag tabs off one browser window onto another!!

Just got the Vorb browser usage stats in for Wednesday (the day when Chrome was released)

1. Internet Explorer 61.59%
2. Firefox 28.74%
3. Safari 5.87%
4. Chrome 2.21%
5. Opera 1.06%
6. Mozilla 0.22%
7. Playstation3 0.13%
8. Camino 0.04%
9. Konqueror 0.04%
10. Mozilla Compatible Agent 0.04%

It will be interesting to see what the stats for next week are - any one else wanting to put money on Chrome taking out Safari before the end of the month?

I am surprised that firefox is that low. I thought it was like the ipod of browsers these days.

Interesting that the Vorb poll is so populated with FF fan bois too.
Clearly they are much more vocal that the real majority who use IE...

Nice and fast and all that, but it uses a tihsload of memory and CPU even when idle.

I've only tried Chrome on a Windows virtual machine so it was slower than I expected. When they bring out the linux port, I'll give it another go.

I use FX3 now and it's very fast on my lowly semnorp PC. Mind you I don't have that Windows overhead slowing it all down ;-)
