Only a day after Google’s first beta release of their upcoming Chrome browser, people are already road-testing it.

Have a look at this Lifehacker post, where the current beta of Chrome, the current beta of the upcoming Firefox 3.1, and the current beta of Internet Explorer 8 are compared for Javascript & CSS performance, startup times, and memory usage.

From what I’ve seen across the web and in my own experience, the new Google Chrome sits right next to Firefox 3. Take that, Microsoft.

Eep! Google has released their own web browser. Watch out Microsoft!

I took a look. It’s pretty nice. Not a lot of extra crap in the window to crowd your browsing experience. Very clean, and simple. It’s a little shabby on the png transparency, and some of the CSS3 features, but for their first Beta, it’s not bad.

You go Google!
