Chrome, meet Stainless
The standout feature in Google’s new web browser, Chrome, is independent processes for each tab. In a nutshell, that means that if one site crashes, it won’t bring down the whole browser. Chrome isn’t yet available for the Mac, except as a port by CrossOver called Chromium. But that hasn’t stopped one enterprising Mac developer from creating his own multi-processor browser called Stainless. Smoking Apples has a nice little review comparing it with Chrome and Apple’s Safari.
