That link doesn't appear to be working, for me at least. Edit: It's working now.
Here's an alternative:

Beta launches tomorrow apparently. I'll try it out, but I'm not holding my breath for a revolutionary browser, and I'm probably going to stick to Firefox unless there's some radically different and necessary thing Chrome introduces.

There probably won't be adblock support.

I'm sure it will have some sort of pop-up blocker built in.

Even if it didn't have an ad blocker I imagine there will be many 3rd party versions that do. I'm excited about this.

But Adblock Plus is just so much more fun!
I'm with Tural on this one...FF does what I need it to. I'll play with it for a bit, though.

The more I read this comic, the better it sounds.
Cautious optimism.

Edited twice I see Tural
Overall its looking great so far, I really like the 9 most visited websites idea. I can't wait to try it out.

Choose the basic HTML format, some of the regular format wouldn't load for me so I switched to the HTML and its loading good.

Sounds neat, I'll be sure to give it a go, I'm not too fond of Firefox 3 anyways.

Upon seeing the "top visited tabs" page, I was like.. "how does that work with things I shouldn't talk about," but god damn if google hasn't thought of everything.

Reading about its features in non-comic form, it just sounds like a mashup of IE8, Opera and Firefox - except for the seperate processes thing. But I'll still try it. I also don't like the look of the GUI (unless its only been displayed in xP, in which I can understand it being bad looking ;p)

I never liked firefox, One reason being I was so accustomed to using IE, the other being that it "messed up" HTML codes that I made that worked fine in IE.
Assuming this keeps those intact, I want it. So bad.
If not, I'm still getting it, and I'll just have to re-learn HTML. No biggie.
