Ah right, thanks. Must admit I haven't bothered to do any reading up on it yet.

Ohh it is quite fast. I like this.
Cool, resizeable input boxes! Each tab seems to take 10-20MB of RAM each, though.

It seems to lockup/not work properly all the time with anything with embedded flash objects for me.

I'm pretty impressed, aside from the dodgy default colour scheme.
It's quite bare-bones atm but as it's only just come out and the inherent speed advantages over other browsers, I'm happy enough

Google lied. I have just been doing some tests.
It opens a maximum of 8 processes. So it is not process-per-tab.
This complicates things and seems to suggest that they are ACTUALLY doing some kind of rudimentary load balancing between the worker processes.
Makes you wonder why they bothered then though. Because I just terminated the process of one of those and I instantly lost access to like 6 tabs I had open...

Well that completely defeats the object
Anyway it looks quite nice and seems quite quick. I'll be keeping an eye on its development, but I'm sticking with FF 3.0 for the moment

Yeh my scroll wheel is being weird as well. I can't middle click and drag the mouse up & down to scroll, which I do a lot.
Not being funny but I just got it to run 11 processes, make sure you've not got them sorted by memory usage or something (sort by name or description so they're all together).
Same here. Although don't tend to do this much.
Up/down Scroll wheel is working fine here tho.

Seems a lot fast than firefox but like many others I have a lot of extensions on firefox I rely on such as ad block and fox marks. Really liking it though .
EDIT
I'm on a XP64 machine and it's installed and working fine for me.....

Well.. one of the processes has to be the window that manages all the tabs, right?
They're obviously in control of what happens when a clean shutdown of a process occurs. I don't think that's a valid test of much.
