Using Google Chrome to manage your Web 2.0 services

According to Google, "Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier." Well, they would say that, wouldn't they? However, it does have a minimal design and it is pretty fast - I like it and by opening all of our different Web 2.0 services in tabs and saving as home page, it's a good way of managing these services more efficiently. 

You can download Google Chrome browser here. 

Instructions here to set up your home page - although remember to put your services in tabs first and then choose 'use current'. 

It's also worth reading about Chrome's minimal features and perhaps having a look at the introductory video: here.

Just to warn you (think it might apply to Simon at least) - this doesn't yet work on Macs I think - it does say they are developing a mac and linus version soon, but it's great on windows and vista! Thanks!

Thanks for this. looks like it might be out soonish in all its glory for macs too. Will try the intermediate version if I get the time, thanks for finding it. My children are pleased with Google Chrome anyway, and like the fact that I've now released the mac temporarily so they can run Spore!!!
