Seems Google are launching their own web browser...

Browser wars are well and truly on again, only this time IE will most likely not win outright.

Any one tried IE8 yet? googles browser is sure to hit Firefox hard, as arnt they the main Mozilla's sponger? and tbh I am dreading googles browser, as it will mean every free down load (acrobat/flash/divx) will now be 5-10 meg bigger

I've been testing against and using ie8 for ages now, on beta 2 now also. it's very meh tbh but much better than 6/7 for sticking to standards and that's a good thing

s'ok tbh, pages render very much like Firefox or Safari but the interface is typical google and very sparse.

I quite like it, it's a lot faster at loading and I like the thumbnail view of the most visited sites.
