well, i could definitely use the security.
my last computer went to shit because the lack thereof, and it'd be fantastic for pages to load faster.

i haven't really heard anything about this Google Chrome, someone enlighten me?

It's a webkit (rendering engine designed by Apple) web browser that has some significant Javascript optimizations to improve speed. Its significantly touted feature is that each tab runs in a separate thread so if you're doing something in one tab that misbehaves, you can simply close that tab instead of it crashing your whole browser. This also leads to memory efficiency.

It's still in beta at the moment, and doesn't yet have a Mac or Linux build.

oh, so i'm guessing because of all the talk with Chrome and Mac, that it's not compatible with windows?

or am i just being naive and not reading everyone's reply and understanding to the fullest?

Chrome is for PC. I work on a PC, but I own a Mac at home. Chrome is the only browser I like on PC.

All you windows users might want to check out Lunascape which handles all three major web rendering engines — Firefox’s Gecko, Internet Explorer’s Trident and WebKit (which is used by Safari and Chrome).

Hunh, I wonder how it stacks up to Camino for render times.
