So Google Chrome is upon us. And it looks interesting so far. And I really like the part about their handling of JavaScript.
We all know Google loves their JavaScript after they used they whole asynchronous part (first implemented by MS in IE 5 to boot) of AJAX in Google Maps spawning the annoyingly bad misuse of AJAX in crappy sites all around the world.
Google Chrome will give a kick in the pants to other browser writers. That's good enough reason to like it.
Separate process for each tab with a process manager? I've been wishing for something like this for years, since I usually have over 100 tabs open. Figuring out which tab is eating all the CPU -- or playing fucking music -- is a pain.
If you want crazy meta, make sure to look at COLA too: http://piumarta.com/software/cola/
I've read the COLA paper and didn't understand a thing, and Self isn't actually vapour, but the project has recently spun off at least one idea (OMeta) that is having a profound impact in some quarters.

too bad just typing :% in the address bar crashes the entire browser...
We must be using different releases, because that doesn't seem to bother chrome on my machine

i'm using "Official Build 1583" (0.2.149.27), which version are you using?
did you clear out anything that was in the address bar before you typed it?
LastMeasure (the nimp.org version) also killed it pretty well on my machine. So much for the ability to kill specific bad processes easily.
