Chrome
I've downloaded Google's new toy, Chrome. It's their entry into the web browser world. Their big claim to fame on it is that they're launching a new process for every tab with the theory that a single unstable page, such as a flash animation with a memory leak gone amok, won't bring down the entire browser.
It's a good theory, as long as they keep the per-process overhead in check. A very informal test on my part shows that Chrome, with 8 tabs open, is using about 60% more memory than Firefox with the same 8 tabs. Not a good start.
