FYI: I’m currently using the brand new Google browser Chrome to write this blogpost. I’m not going to do a test or a review, you can read that here: ZDNet, Dutchcowboys, and almost everywhere else.

You can download the new browser here

I like:

• the speed
• the suggestions when you type in an URL
• the incognito modus
• ‘end proces’ option for every single tab
• The fact it’s open-source

I don’t like:

• yet another browser to test your webdesigns
• I don’t want to give up Firefox and all of his plugins (Especially Ubiquity)
• The google-colors; just like Google Docs and Gmail: it looks cheap to me.
• All the curious eyes on my laptop today, because there is not a Mac version yet.

Wow. Mozilla labs created a fantastic tool to connect the web with language. I could write a book about it, but I’ll just embed the following video:

Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo.

I installed this thing and I have to say: damn, this is great!

Please try it yourself.

Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we got more than 8 million Firefox 3 downloads in 24 hours. That’s more Firefox downloads than we’ve ever had in a single day — an impressive feat indeed!

Please be patient while the good people of Guinness review our World Record attempt. This might take a few days so please check back here.

And, a huge thanks for all of your support!

If you haven’t done it yet, do it now: Get Firefox 3

Download Firefox 3 on Download Day and break a world record!

All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours – it’s that easy. We’re not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.

The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 is June 17, 2008. Join our community and this effort by pledging here today

Well done! Congrats!
